PA / Harrisburg - Rachel Carson Building - 2008-21
Alison:
A good update from the site today. It's encouraging to hear that Blue Boy is improving.
6/7/2010 :: Fledgling Update The two males fledged yesterday from the ledge. From all accounts, the white banded male fledged first at around 9 AM. The red banded fledge took his first flight later in the afternoon. They ended up on the ground, were rescued and placed on the roof of the building. On their second attempt they landed on low rooftops near the Rachel Carson Building from which they will try again. The goal for the fledglings now will be to return to the ledge. There are two teams of watchers keeping an eye on them.
The blue banded male taken for treatment has recovered to the extent the rehabilitator would like to return him to the ledge soon. Thanks to the weekend watch and rescue crew for rescuing the fledglings on their first flight and briefing DEP staff on these happenings this morning.

I hate this disease....it really upsets me when I hear a raptor fall because of it.
Kinderchick:
Thanks for this link, TPC! Definitely a nasty disease. Won't be discussing this topic with my Kinderchicklets! :o

6/1/2010 :: Update about Blue-Banded Male
At the time of banding, signs of the trichomoniasis (trich) infection were observed in the blue-banded male. The eyas was treated with the recommended dose of antibiotic by the Game Commission's Art McMorris. Trichomoniasis is a fairly widespread infection in young raptors.

What exactly is trichomoniasis? ??? What are some of the signs and symptoms? ??? And is it passed on to the young raptors through a parent or through injesting another bird with the disease? ???
