OK I'll start this off. Czech Republic jays and a red squirrel.

Izzi is still getting his meals brought to the scrape, and after this he stayed the night and fetched his stash in the morning:
Daisy Duck's routine break:
IMAGICAT
Thank you so much for the SWFL eaglets update, KORKY - I missed your post, probably had the RF open too long again
Not such a happy update from Daisy the Pacific Black Duck and her eggs - probably the last one, too.
She didn't quite cover the eggs thoroughly enough and the Ravens had a field day with them. This is far too long but I've already spent hours on it, due to errors, so here it is, warts 'n all.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
She came back in the evening and stayed on the empty nestcup fidgeting for over 2 hours
She must be so confused, poor Daisy Duck
SWFEC CROW Fb update (FAQs, since being in rehab, answered)
There will be another update later today

oh no scylla. Daisy Duck has shown such dedication (sometimes!).
Update from CROW (Facebook page) on E17 & E18 from the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam nest:
The eaglets are doing well this morning and they have been eating very well in our care. In previous photos we posted, their eyes looked much better because we have kept them clean and clear of discharge. The infection causing the issue, however, is still present. The eaglets are receiving antibiotic eye drops three times a day during feeding times to minimize handling. They were also started on an injectable antibiotic today to help combat the infection.
Through cytology (examining samples through a microscope) done in our clinic, we are able to narrow down potential types of infections which allows our use of antibiotics to be the most effective to clear the infection. We will not know the definitive type of infection until we receive results from the swabs we have sent for testing. Once the infection has cleared and they have been medically cleared by our veterinary team, we will return the eaglets to the nest, even though we may not receive the results of the swabs until later.
We cannot thank you enough for your patience, kindness and support as we work to get the eaglets healthy and back to the nest as soon as possible. At your request, we have added the donation button to our posts to make it easier for anyone who would like to support our work to help Southwest Florida's wildlife!
