Hi bev. Yes I did get it. I Was very worried for Ella over the weekend. I had the camera zoomed in Friday for the weekend to see eggs over the weekend. Obviously that didn’t happen. But my fingers are definitely crossed. I remember hearing if the female is stressed she may not be able to lay eggs. My fingers are crossed tighter just saying that. I reached out to the head vet at Michigan State U for advice. He sent to MDNR. they will not try to capture her til eggs are laid/clutch is fed/fledge starts/teaches them to hunt. Seems she could use an antibiotic.

remember Bella from Toledo. remember how bad her ey e was. she i s keeping it closed to protect it. hopefully it will get better like Bellas did. sh emay have run into something. time heals , that i s why they have other lid.

fingers crossed

So our Ella is pretty similar to the Bella in Toledo? Bella’s eye was infected? Ella’s eye seems to be sealed shut now.

Bella's eye was pretty bad. That cam is not very clear, so it was hard to see just how bad her eye was. It seemed to heal ok, though.

Personally, and this is just me, I think Ella's eye is worse, though I think it is healing. Its hard to predict how that injury will affect egg lay. It does look like it could be infected, which could delay or prevent egg lay. The good news is that she doesn't look thin (to me) and she is still able to fly up to the box. If there is an infection, I would imagine her body is using its resources to fight that infection.

Fingers crossed that it will continue to heal. I think these birds are very resilient!!
