As a wildlife rehabilitator I’ve always wanted to believe that if I put enough time, energy, and devotion into healing a wounded creature, our combined karmic payback will insure that it will live out its life well-fed and trouble-free.

Sometimes it is too late, as they are deceased and Brahminy Kites and White-bellied Sea-Eagles usually take advantage of the situation. And did you follow the dog tracks to find that – behind some bushes on the ground – the Brahminy Kites and White-bellied Sea-Eagles had taken “advantage of the situation&# ?

We stopped, wound down the window and started making squeaking sounds by rubbing our fingers over our teeth. Its always a good idea to keep your eyes skyward here for Eastern Sawwing, Scarce Swift and soaring Crowned Eagles and other raptors.

The Crested Serpent-eagle is not a vulture, but that does not keep me from mentioning a recent Economist article here, “The sudden demise of Indian vultures killed thousands of people” And while this article is behind a paywall, the original research paper is not.

The aim of the game was to band raptors, and specifically to band Golden Eagles. To gather vital information that could make the difference between a thriving Golden Eagle population and a declining one.
