Bald Eagle - British Columbia / Hornby Island

The Peregrine Chick:
Thanks for posting the update RCF, I know lots of folks here were devoted watchers of the Hornby Eagles. Given Phoenix's death last year (2010) and how many people would have been very distressed by this turn of events, I can only imagine how tough a year it was for the Carricks. It is too bad that they cannot continue but they did provide a wonderful view into the real lives of eagles in BC for everyone. And while I will miss checking out the cam, I am glad I had the opportunity to watch even for just a little while. And I know that next spring, the adults will be back in their nest and that they will be watched over by fans at the HEG.

They've got the Decorah nest and the Sea Eagle nest cams up instead. Thought this was temporary until they got the Hornby cam running, but I read somewhere that the cam is gone for good... :-\ :'( Haven't been able to find out why... :P

This is a notice that I am leaving the whole business of broadcasting the Hornby Eagles. I am absolutely torn asunder by this decision. I read over the recent posts and am reminded of all the people that just love seeing these eagles. I see all the people who followed the eagles to the Hancock Wildlife Forum and it is upsetting to abandon such good people. When I decided to quit two months ago there were hundreds of people who requested that I keep broadcasting by some other mode and they were so pleased when it happened. I am forever grateful to David Hancock who welcomed me back so the eagles could carry on to the satisfaction of so many people. And I know it will be a blow to nightowl who has been the best hostess and moderator I could ever imagine - full of wisdom, balance, and wit ... with a warm welcoming personality. IrishEyes and jbkgrants have been wonderful "oldtimers" on the Hornby Eagle thread. JudyB has watched over this thread so well and Richard arranged the transition to the new site with quiet diplomacy. I am fully aware of the upset this will be causing and genuinely wish there was some way around it.

However I have had long talks with Sheila. The hassles and stress associated with the broadcasting of the Hornby Eagles is taking the joy from our lives. We have had enough. We cannot have our lives destroyed to give thousands the pleasure of the eagles. Other people could arise above these things and continue on despite them. But we are not able to do so - thinskinned? But we are as we are, and have to decide what is best for us. So with understanding and appologies, we are now going on to new things. Who knows what? Doug and Sheila Carrick
