Some
times there also are stories with a happy end The
more exhaustive monitoring than it is possible to be made of the eagles
marked with emitters allows to have many times information very detailed
of his daily life and, by as much, also of those problems that affect to
them. During this last breeding season it has been possible to know
different histories that show the drama of the fight by the daily
survival. For
example, two cases have been known about territories with eagles marked
with emitters in which the male has disappeared and the female has
remained single at the precise moment when the chickens had to be born
the chickens. The absence of a companion who provided food and
protection raised, then, a dramatic dilemma for the female: it had to
choose between remaining in the nest incubating and protecting eggs or
to go away to hunt for being able to satiate the hunger. For
this reason, it was decided to provide additional feeding to the females
of these territories, with the hope that this allowed the survival of
the chickens. These actions were made of a coordinated way with the Cos
d’Agents Rurals (rangers) of the Generalitat de Catalunya and with the
guards of the Service of Natural Parks of the Diputació Provincial de
Barcelona. Thanks to that, in both territories arrived in being born a
chicken. In one of them, unfortunately, the chicken had to be very weak
and died after some days, but in the other the additional feeding has
allowed that the chicken grows with normality and that is making his
first flights in these days.
