That was Alley's first year there ... ah, where does the time fly? She only had one chick that first year too ...

And that was Pioneer. I wonder whatever happened to him.

Guess it could have been either - never did hear if a necropsy was done on the chicks and "suspected" would seem to imply never confirmed which in turn would seem to imply no necropsy.

I had not heard about the "suspected poisoning" theory. I had heard that it was extremely hot, and there was no shelter on the ledge for the chicks. I also heard nothing about whether or not a necropsy was done.

--- Quote from: Alison on May 16, 2015, 10:58 ---TPC, do you remember what year that was? I have been watching this site since 2005, when the cam was first installed, and I don't recall chicks being lost at this site for that reason. That did happen at the Woodmen site in the early years, when all four chicks died one year due to excess heat out on the ledge. As a result, a roof was installed on one of the two nest boxes there.

Ah nuts, I got my Nebraskas mixed up. Funny, I was remembering it was another Manitoba female but didn't even twig it was the wrong the location :P It was 1997, and Winnie from (you guessed it) Winnipeg was paired with the famous Zeus at Woodmen in Omaha. There are two different causes of death which have been reported - heatstroke due to reflected light and "suspected poisoning". Guess it could have been either - never did hear if a necropsy was done on the chicks and "suspected" would seem to imply never confirmed which in turn would seem to imply no necropsy.

Nuts squared, sorry Alison, was scrolling and reading quickly before I had to head out. Thank you to Alison for posting the article ;) And Alison and RCF for keeping a close eye on this nestsite!
