#Renesting

That's a lot of really tough work! It looks so much better. I really hope you can keep them away & keep them from renesting. And hoping a nice rest in a dark room helps w/that migraine. Hard to get anything done w/those, I'm guessing

Ah, made me think of renesting.

Just when we thought baby season was over we got in these two hatchling Harris Hawks. We tried renesting but the parents ignored them, perhaps also realizing that they made a mistake hatching eggs in September. So for now we will do our best to raise these two to be wild

birds. These are individuals that are confusing. Is this a phenotype issue? There is no genetic component here, just hens renesting after failed attempts producing chicks that are too young to have adult feathers. This is not an breeding strategy were males use female plumage to sneak copulations

...Later nesting attempts in Jun or early Jul generally interpreted as renesting attempts following failure of first nesting attempt, rather than second brood."

So our floofy juvie is either 2nd brood or 2nd try!

Nature always has some mysteries for us!

Nesting is complicated and perilous. Many species return to Maine early in spring, hoping to jump-start a family in ideal weather.
Nest failure is common for birds in Maine. But many have backup plans.

The breeding season is almost over for Lapwing, just a couple of pairs renesting after a very poor season.
Now their priority is on feeding well to replace their flight feathers and this one has started...

The babies just keep coming! 2 more nestling barred owls displaced by high winds. We are getting a good meal in them today then renesting tomorrow. The one on the end stays though 😉🪶🦉

An Uber for Owls

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to assist in renesting two baby great horned owls that had fallen out of their nests in the recent windstorms.

Renested this baby GHOW today. One parent hung around until the bucket truck fired up. Checked an hour after renesting and a parent was near the nest.

Any Great Horned Owl researchers here? I have some GHOW questions. DM me on Instagram, same user name. GHOW renesting 3 years ago for tax. TIA! #greathornedowls

A typical osprey renesting - we are getting ready to remove the ladder.

Going through my pictures and posting rescues, renesting and releases not already on this platform. Meet Ozzie the Osprey, an unusual tree nest baby.

To nobody's surprise, I went out yesterday and rescued the 2nd PEFA chick. It's reunited with its sibling and a renesting plan is in the works. #peregrinefalcon

Blast from the past: my first baby raptor renesting! A Great Horned Owl who went on to successfully fledge. #greathornedowl #raptorrenesting

In terms of the lowest effort route, I don't see why enemies can't come back after some three or five days after killing them. In terms of something a little more involved? I absolutely would have loved the bigger guys renesting at launch sites after you're gone for a while because that's in nature.

Another safe renesting by WRSOS volunteer Patti! A Great Horned owlet was found on the ground in Caronport. The caller wasn’t comfortable putting it back, so Patti stepped in, placing it safely on a branch while the parent watched nearby. Every call, every rescue, proof that coexistence works.

Removing young wildlife from their environment can harm their chances of survival. When possible, renesting keeps families together and gives babies the best chance to grow up wild, as nature intended.

A nestling Great Horned Owl fell from its nest near Moose Jaw — but thanks to WRSOS rescue volunteer Patti, this little one got a second chance.
Renesting is delicate work, requiring experience, the right conditions, and sometimes a very tall ladder.
Here’s what made this one special:

We're celebrating our first renesting of the season! A great horned owl nestling is now back home in Bay Park after being rescued during the recent storm. Our Project Wildlife medical team performed a thorough examination, and determined the nestling had no injuries!
