TWO HARBORS EAGLES ~ BANDING DAY! IT'S A BOY! 😊 5.27.23 

Huge thank you to Dr. Sharpe for another successful Two Harbors banding day and a thank you to Lady Hawk for the full coverage! Banding Eaglets and beak and hallux measurements should be done at every monitored nest. Thanks to Dr. Sharpe we now know the chick is a male and he can be tracked through his bands which gives us access potentially to future sigtings. We'll also always know if the chick returns to Catalina for the future like so many others have done that are banded. Those who watch this whole video note how educational the footage is. Dr. Sharpe carefully approaches TH-1 so as not to startle him. TH-1 was nippy and is a feisty young version of his Dad Chase. The falconers hood was used to calm the chick so they could take measurements. Careful handling when he took TH-1 in his arms and careful placement of TH-1 back on the nest when it was all said and done. TH-1 will be named soon so everyone should keep an eye out for that event. Mom Cholyn returned about 6 hours later with a Rockfish for dinner for TH-1 and is roosting on the nest again tonight. Thanks LH! SEDs🌙🌚🦅💜

It's bittersweet news, that this was apparently Dr Sharpe's last banding, but it's good to know he has an heir-apparent in Amber. And that he is still plenty young and active enough to assist when and where he is needed. Smart move.

Dr sharpe is retiring and I read this beautiful boy was the last eaglet he had banded. Thanks for all the great work, dedication and savings of these beautiful young birds and happy retirement ❤ And thank you my friend. Please do not retire!... Yet 😊❤

Sounded like one of the parents was nearby, vocalizing. He gave the humans a perplexing side eye when they were leaving.

Thankyou Dr Sharpe!! wow not many people get to hug an Eagle! we'll miss you.

Talk about a great view for that nest 🥰 those birds chose wisely

8:14 ohh my GOD!! His little bites & chirps when the hood came out was beyond adorable! I would LOVE to hold that little feathery cutie.

My 2nd favorite eagle nest! Love Mama Cholyn and Papa Chase. Congratulations on their sassy little boy! 🥰💙🎉

What a wonderful new!! We have an eaglet boy. 💕💘🐥♂️💕 Behold our little Prince TH1 👑🐥 Chase and Cholyn's precious son. 💕🦅👑🦅💕 Oh!! And what a lovely, pretty, chubby, fluffy, feisty eaglet he is!! 🤗💘🤗 Many blessings and love to this beautiful Eagle family. 🙏💞🙏 A huge thank you to Dr Sharpe & Amber Schenk for the banding day and to you, dear Lady Hawk for sharing this wonderful coverage with us. 💙💙 Many blessings and love to you all, dear friends. 🌺💙🙏🥰🥰💕🦅🐥🦅💕⛰️🙏

Many many thanks to Dr. Sharpe and Amber Schenk (and their team) for banding these Eaglets 😍💞 Oh, this amazing fluffy Eaglet 49D is impressively feisty 😊💖💪 But he is perfectly posing😃 for Dr. Sharpe's camera😊😍 Mom Cholyn was slightly worrying during the human visit - all is well, dear Mom😍💕 Keep thriving, amazing precious Eagle family😍 Daddy Chase/Mom Cholyn and your fluffy boy 49D 😊💞❤💖 Thank you, dear Lady Hawk, for the great news!😍👏👍💞💖

What a proud and courageous young eagle boy. Luckily everything went well. Looked dangerous sometimes. Thank You for the video, Lady Hawk.

Love how Dr Sharpe says "and how are you today?" ❤

Love these Eagle's.

Thank you for taking care of the equipment! We'd be lost without our nest cams! ❤❤❤

Those two did an amazing job 🎉💕😊

Thank you Dr Sharpe for this banding and all the others too! Thank you for helping Amber! An awesome job! Thanks Lady Hawk for this wonderful coverage!

Aw, we have a boy! Thanks for sharing this......I love watching Dr. Sharpe banding the eaglets & his timing could not have been better to help get that wacky stick situated for the eagles----they needed a helping hand, and Dr. Sharpe was there to lend his!! Our super hero! 🦸-Hugs 🤗

Those little distress chirps from the parents must translate to “Bite them with everything you’ve got, son!” 😅

What a handsome boy!

That's not a easy job. My hat is off to you two. Thank you 💖💖🦅🦅🇺🇲

We looove Dr Sharpe and his team and Lady Hawk! I love that he bands them in their nest and doesn’t take them to their office unless it’s necessary. A few peregrine falcons were being banded in an office and four people were standing around wasting time just talking laughing recording indecisive so unprofessional!!! causing stress on the tiny peregrines 😡 Thank you for this video. I knew he was a boy! Beautiful boy💙✨

I am in awe of their skills. Love their cacti shin protectors!👍 I know they're safe but,I got queasy looking down at the ocean🤢 ty LH for bringing us this banding video!👏✌️💞🇺🇲

I'm speechless! Bravo to Dr. Sharpe and his assistant for doing this important work so professionally and so successfully! I don't think I breathed for a good 15 minutes of this video! When Mom flies in with dinner later, 49D will have a lot to tell Mom of the goings-on while she was away ... aliens landed and abducted me from the nest! Then, made everything go dark and put an implant around my leg! Mom, they're "monitoring" me! But, you'll be proud to know, I left the big alien with a souvenir from my beak! 🦅

Wow lovely view, in CA and NJ wow the rent cost for that view would be high🤣 They are so gentle and talk to the eagle just like we do through our screen. I do not follow this cam ( did not know about it until it showed up on my feed). I just started watching the SWFE cam when Harriet disappeared. I have learned a lot about Eagles ( my late Dad loved eagles and collected wooden carved ones from all his travels and when my Mom passed away 31 years later all of us children took one! My Dad would have loved these cams.The rest went to the grandchildren or friends ! Watching this was so educational! I wish that Harriet's and M15 last 2 eaglets had been banded just too know how they were doing and if they came back home from time to time. They had to be so careful with the little one. Well he did pose for his glam shots. I will check back in to see what his name is and how he and his parents are doing.

So good with the eaglet

Thanks lady hawk 🙏🌹🌹🌹

Lucky 🍀 handsome prince 👑 🌹🤍👑be safe 🌹🐥🍀

Glad it went well. Sorry they did not band Sw Fl nest.

It's a beautiful job, being in contact with these wonderful Birds!! ❤

Can't believe it's another season... last season Dr had to save their baby..... thank you Dr for all of your hard work~~~~~

That’s very incredible. Thank you so much to all. What area is this beautiful place

24:15 = “Ummmm…yea, nobody, and I mean NOBODY is going to believe what in the name of *poop shoots* just happened.”

Thank you for the interesting video!

After reading all the comments, there’s not much else to say, but I ditto all of it. Thank you thank you . What wonderful work you all do ❤🙏🦅😍🥰😎

@Dr Sharpe I remember watching you when the egg shells was too thin and you came up got them put in fake eggs took eggs down and put them in the inhabitors (sp) hatched them and brought the chicks back up into the nest; you both times always waited around to see it they were excepted - Thank you so much for all your work you have done in years and years/decades for the Eagles to survive and have eggs that had much harder shells. You are such an awesome man (at that time I was one of the people on the National Conservation Center Eagles Nest in Shepherdstown West Virginia (at that time we had Liberty-Dad and Belle-Mom; you helped us know so much to help our Eagles there). God Bless you Sir and your work for Eagles.

Aww. Poor guys feathers look a bit ruffled towards the end lol.

It's a boy... 🤗💙 thanks for sharing this story.

Please, band E22 🙏 its the last eaglet of our beloved Harriet and the Magnificent M15. Most likely I won't see it as an adult but future generations deserves to know about these amazing eagles family. 🙌

😃❤💞👍...super !!!

That’s one unhappy eaglet lol

good show researchers . and for not falling off

My gosh! How big he is for 7 weeks!!! It surprised me that he didn't make a frantic attempt to get away from the team when they approached. I thought he was tangled up in branches for a second..

Tous les jours je le surveille car je l’ai vu petit et maintenant grandi merci beaucoup je ne suis pas une scientifique mais j’aime ce petit aigle que j’ai vu grandir Merci 🙏🏻 et Gratitude à vous tous du Québec Québec Canada ❤

Quite the little struggle..thecsecondvis below. How awesome is this! ☺️

Feisty little guy! 😮

❤

❤ have we named him yet?

The Eaglet was captured an relieved without being eaten this time.

💗

Brawo❤❤

@6:21 Definitely a fiesty one as he was going straight for the face. My clumsy self would have hit the cactus plant and landed in the water lol You never realize how big these eaglets are until you see them in the arms of a human.

I'd lose my pen.

Looked like a dangerous hike! What was Dr saying about last year's chick, did it fall out of the nest and so this eaglet is TH1?

Kudos to both of you, that was difficult to watch,

En WE también colocaron las bandas hace 15 días y anoche me enteré que han cambiado de nido 😃 me parece perfecto para darle a los aguiluchitos más protección 🙏🏻♥️🦅🐥🐥🦅♥️🙏🏻

Так увлекательно наблюдать за вашими лействиями

😍😍😍💞🦅

he's already making squeaky hinge noises.

Move the branch, doc!

Pretty scary, so close to edge

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am surprised that they don't take a blood sample to create a DNA map.

Where’s Mom & Pop? Do they watch from a distance? Or just not home at the time 😅?

I wonder if Mom was nearby watching.

What's the purpose of the banding? Is it to track the eaglet?

Damn hoomans, you could’ve at least brought some yummy fresh fish chunks to feed me before n after groaping me, to show you are frens! - 🦅😅

Will the bands ever become too small as the eagle grows?

What is the footage drop to water?

What would happen if the parents came to the nest and seen a person by their baby ?? Just curious

I only see one?
