GROWLS - Is it dinner or is it family?

[@SassePhoto]

This is probably the most important and exciting moment ever documented about hawklets in an eagle's nest which I have been following for years in various nests - clearly showing that the hawklet is brought in as food and then the eagle's motherly instinct kicks in to raise it as an eaglet. A M A Z I N G ! ! ! ! Many thanks

[@Pamichen]

thanks sooooo much Christian! And thank you for the many years of hard work you do to help protect and preserve the eagle population. 😍

[@jermainefr]

If it happens a lot, I wonder if it's an evolutionary strategy. Maybe there are even pheromones involved on the hawklets side.

This is awesome!! When the mom first jumped to the nest with the hawk, she stepped on the young eagle and let go of the hawk. I think this is the moment she got confused. Brave little hawk though, he was pecking back at the eagles... lol.

[@capptain_crunch9544]

It's amazing how often this actually happens. Ive seen it docunented in at least 4 different nests just from various nest cam channels. If its happened this many times on just the few nests with cams i can only imagine how often it actually happens given the massive number of nests without cameras.

Thank you, Pamichen for sharing this fascinating (and tense) video. Lady Hawk posted your link so a person could watch how this baby hawk came to be a member, albeit unintentionally, of the eagle family starting from the moment Mom dropped it in the nest for Junior. It's been a lip-biting, breath-holding, and scary few days waiting to see what was going to happen next to the newest addition to the nest. But wonder of all wonders, the eaglet didn't seem to mind having a rival to the food deliveries or sharing the attention given by mom and dad eagle. I anxiously look each day (several times) for news from the GROWLS nest. I'm loving what I see. 😍

[@Pamichen]

It’s pretty exciting, isn’t it? We are all just obsessed over here on the island about it. They seem to act just like siblings. And in fact, the Hawklet is definitely smarter and faster than the Eaglet. 🤪❤️🦅 thanks for watching. 🥰

[@LuciTulcea]

@@Pamichen I guess it was unavoidable. I mean the eagle had to have a firm grasp on the hawk chick not to drop him in mid flight. I am absolutely amazed how the eagle managed to bring that chick to the nest unharmed, as if it intended to do so from the very beginning.

[@Pamichen]

@@LuciTulcea in one of the photos my friend took of the hawklet up in the nest, you can see a scar on her chest. This must be from the mom's talons when bringing her in. Such a strong and brave little hawklet. She looks amazing now as she flies in and out of nest. 🥰

This highlights how much eagles prey on the young of other raptors. We’ve seen eagles snatch baby red tails and fledgling ospreys from their nests. Occasionally, as here, a baby hawk is raised (or at least partly accepted) by the eagle, but most often, they’re just food.

Birds always fascinated me. From childhood grew up with farm birds like chicken, pigeon, few parrots. It is interesting to know that each individual bird will have a unique character and no two birds have same character. I am more interested to know when these two grew up, how they are going to be as a siblings.

[@Pamichen]

It would be really interesting and informative to know what happens with Eaglet and Hawklet fledge. But we won’t know. Curious if the hawk will think eagles are their friend now. That might be their demise. I love birds too. I watch them all day long. Have a great day! 🤗

One of the neighbours in the area would sometimes throw freezer burned fish out on the beach and these eagles would always swoop in for the free meal, scaring off the seagulls as it glided in for the free fish. I have a short video of this somewhere on my computer. Even though I'm against humans feeding wildlife I would have to guess that these extra free meals being handed out at the time most likely contributed somewhat to the survival of the hawk.

[@silvermainecoons3269]

This is so fascinating, I only know of one time when a baby hawk was brought to a bald eagle nest as food but instead was adopted. He actually fledged with his step-siblings!

The hawk-ling must have fallen from its nest and was snatched away by the eagle and the eagle saw that it was of like kind and may have also lost a baby previously and decided to take this one in because the baby it has left is alone while they are out hunting. So the eagle took this one as their own.

[@Pamichen]

I have found out that red tailed hawk are a main delicacy for the eagle. They are known to snatch babies out of nest to feed their own as a process to learn to kill their food. Sad to me, but it's nature. This couple did in fact lose a baby...they stopped feeding it. That was extremely sad to watch. I do feel that because this hawklet stood it's ground, was brave and begged for food, momma took compassion and started to feed. Now it is one of her own. Very sweet.

Looks like a little Red-tail. The way he sliced off the edge of the nest was not like the straight down drop of a falcon.

[@Pamichen]

@@chuckr1951 yes...we have that confirmed last week. pretty exciting! :)

[@OceanClif]

There has to be plenty of food in the area for this hawklet to get adopted.

[@Pamichen]

YES! 😁 there is. They are on the Salish Sea. 🥰⚓

[@finflwr]

Without seeing the situation where the raptor chick was collected, we can't for sure exclude the possibility that it wasn't meant as food or stolen from it's nest. It could have been orphaned. Assumptions should be avoided.

[@Pamichen]

red tailed hawk are a commonly known food source for feeding eaglets. Happens constantly in the wild every year.

[@TOTMGreenish-Top-Of-The-Morrin]

amazing fact that Mama eagle could bring that baby to the nest with her talons and not harm it ... maybe there's a chance she thought it was her baby that died ❓ this is the most amazing story of 2022

[@Pamichen]

eagles are known to raid hawk nests...so it is normal behaviour. It definitely was for food but Junior was fed well and had no need for this live meal. We still see Malala today hanging with the parents.

[@gailamallery2456]

Update? Did he fledged ok? Or get eaten? Great video.

[@Pamichen]

lil Raptor which we are now thinking is a possible hawk, is still with family...being treated as one of them. :)

[@jaknap1]

At this point, I would be surprised if it gets eaten.

[@Pamichen]

@@jaknap1 me too! they are a lovely happy family. :)

[@SugarRay2]

An eagle is a raptor too right? Why do you call the other one the raptor snd not by it’s species?

[@mistermiguel9011]

Because she wasn't sure what type of raptor it was.

[@Pamichen]

@@mistermiguel9011 @SugarRay2 yes...at this time we had no clue except for speculation as to what Malala was. Beyond that...there are many different Raptor species...so the term still stands. Thank you for your comments. 🥰

[@SugarRay2]

@@Pamichen ok. I thought it was a follow on clip in which had hawklet in its title.

[@Pamichen]

@@SugarRay2 this is the first video from this new family. There is an earlier video, but that is when the eaglet sibling was still alive. Cheers! 😄

[@SugarRay2]

@@Pamichen ok. Must be someone else who posted it then cos I recognise the nest, trees, and birds.

I wanted to tell you that copaiba essential oil, can do wonders for nerve pain! It has helped me so much this past week. My daughter told me to use it. I am using it topically, one drop copaiba with one drop of coconut oil. I didn't want to mention it until I knew it helped. Please try it. Love you.

[@Pamichen]

oh...very interesting! I will try to see how to get it! Thank you! Take care! Love you too! :)

[@diane520]

I am using it frequently right now. It can also be used orally. But I know very little about it. If you have never had issues from tylenol toxicity, you may be able to use the balsam gum or oil orally. I get mine from Camp Wander, but I'm looking for a less expensive, but reliable source.

[@EmmaDee]

@@diane520 well hope y'all don't mind me reading this but I too may try this oil. Maybe I can get it at local health food store.

[@diane520]

My daughter told me to try to avoid oil coming out of Pakistan or India, since they are often diluted with cheaper oils. She gets ours from Camp Wander (spelled with an a). I am allergic to most nuts, and to CBD oil, so I use coconut oil as my base, mixed one to one in a roller ball applicator. A little goes a long way! I have much less nerve pain, but am not pain free. Depending on where you live, there may be some who are well versed in herbal healing with essential oils. Dr. Axe has some general information about copiaba and other uses and benefits. I've had some powerful medications that do nothing for nerve pain. This isn't medical advice. I'm just so glad it's worked for me. Be blessed. ♥️

[@diane520]

When I don't use a roller bottle I waste a lot. Lately, I've used ten cc's in a roller bottle on most of my right leg and hip, 3 times a day, and reapply in the worst areas, usually my knee and a tight muscle above, the knee as many times as I wish day and night. In two weeks I've used less than ¼ of the mixture. At that rate one bottle of the pure essential oil could last me 16 weeks. I was afraid of the expense, but that's pretty cheap for the relief I get.

[@juliamadison5701]

I’m thinking the little one may be an Osprey.

[@Pamichen]

hmmmmmm...maybe! As it grows we will find out. Pretty exciting! :) Thanks for the comment.

[@silvermainecoons3269]

It looks like a red tailed hawk to me. Ospreys are pretty distinctive looking, but I’m not an expert or anything so who knows.

[@Pamichen]

@@silvermainecoons3269 it has been determined to be a red tailed hawk! :) Good eye! :)

[@silvermainecoons3269]

@@Pamichen Yay! I’m so excited about this. I told myself not to get too emotionally invested in the outcome; nature being a very unpredictable beast, but too late. LOL The little guy has people all over the world rooting for him. I’m glad it’s happening in beautiful British Columbia, one of my favorite places on earth! 💜💟☮️
