[Tweeters] RE Bald eagles on PI Globe

[Kersti Muul via Tweeters]

The Salty's nest pair is not the same pair from past years. Its new
occupants include female 5/H (otherwise known as 'Bey' who I released at
Hamilton Viewpoint on March 16, 2021) and a male recruited in late 2022.
Not her original mate. She took over the Salty's nest in 2023 and attempted
to nest but it failed. This year they successfully fledged two chicks (her
first chicks). They spend most of their time at Alki, over near Elliot Bay
Marina and over on the cranes and lights at Jack Block park and other port
properties.

Perkins lane pair had two chicks this year but they died after contracting
HPAI.

Both Salty's pair and Perkins Lane pair are augmenting nests and females
spending a lot of time in, and at them.

The pictures of the eagles on the globe together are fun. Usually folks
send me pictures of just one, but on December 16th I was sent a pic of two!
