About Me:

I am a member of the Hancock Wildlife Foundation Discussion Forum . This year, the Foundation has teamed up with WildEarth to stream three different eagle's nests.

The Hornby Eagles




In 2006, Ma and Pa Hornby became superstars as theirs was the first nest to be streamed over the Internet. Thousands of viewers cried together when the eggs did not hatch that year.

The nest is on Hornby Island which is off the coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. This year, the Hornbys laid two eggs which are due to hatch at the end of April.

Update on May 1, 2009

We have two Hornby hatchlings!! Egglet #1, named Hope by Doug Carrick, hatched at about 7:40 a.m. on April 27, 2009. And on April 30th at about 1:40 p.m., egglet #2, Echo, hatched. Welcome to the world, Hope and Echo!!

Update on May 11, 2009 - Tragic News

Today baby eaglet, Echo Hornby, died as a result of a tragic accident. We do not know for sure but what probably happened is that one of the eaglets pooped on Mom's feathers and Echo became stuck to Mom. Mom tried her best to help him. She even waited for hours brooding Echo under her but when she finally flew off the nest, Echo was still stuck to her. Echo fell almost immediately after Mom left the nest. Doug Carrick, the "father" of the Hornby eagles, found little Echo's body under the tree shortly after. Rest in peace, Little Echo. I will always remember you!





Hornby Thread-Hancock Wildlife Discussion Forum


The Sidney Eagle's Nest



When the Hornby eggs failed, David Hancock found another nest on Vancouver Island with two newly-hatched eaglets. These eaglets grew up to become the world-famous Lil Sidney and Big Victoria.

In 2007, we watched as Mom and Dad Ssanich raised Skye and, in 2008, triplets!!!!

This year, they have laid three eggs again. Wow!! They are due to hatch at the beginning of April.

Update on April 24, 2009 All three of the eggs hatched!! #1 on April 8, #2 on April 10 and #2 on April 14. Join us and watch the eaglets grow!

The Mystery of Discipline

Self-discipline is often estimated as an important component to be effective - be it research or profession or personal life. The traditional concept of discipline seems to be deceiving. It is often recognized as something that is associated with a set of firm guidelines, worry, power, exterior management and penalties. The misconception is probably a impact of the unnecessary attempt of most
