Freedom for Decker - Fundraising for his release

[Blue]

I hope so too, auroradawn.    Get an early ferry to Vancouver Island!


Union Bay is one of the oldest seaside communities in this area, along the scenic old Island Highway.





NIWRA has recently admitted two of this year's new fledglings to the flight pen so Decker will be an old pro in there, ready to go!

[Stokes]

Exciting! I might be able to go. Anyone else from Seattle area going? Thank you for letting us know. If Jingles can't go I will take photos of Decker for her and blow him a kiss from her.

Go get 'em Stokes!  Take some awesome photos!  Yay MARS, NIWRA, Heart, Heg, Doug & Sheila, and all the others I can't think of.  GO DECKER!

So grateful to hear this...
Many thanks to booni and wren for their excellent evaluation and to all of HEART for recovery of this eaglet, so that he may fly in freedom!!

Does anyone have suggestions where we could get together after Decker's release for lunch or coffee?

Darn - I will be in Vancouver.  I was so hoping to see Decker released. His rescue was so amazing and I got to see him at MARS where my daughter took those great photos showing his ragged feathers. 

He has had the best of care and rehabbing and it is thrilling that he will be released soon.  I will be there in spirit.  Joyofdogs

There has been talk of a picnic lunch after the release ceremony. Haven't heard any details yet.

If the weather doesn't cooperate for a picnic lunch, the Fanny Bay Inn is just 10 min south.

I'll be there with my camera whirring for MARS. I believe Maj is going, also. I'll try to be careful not to get people in the pictures or video, but please let me know if you see me whether you're okay with being on MARS' FB, anyway. And I will be asking, in any case.

I've never seen Decker in person so I'm really looking forward to this! Lunch at the FBI sounds good to me!

See you all there!

This long-awaited event is going to be so exciting! It looks like we will have good weather.


Just a reminder:
It is not OK to post photos of members anywhere on the internet without their permission. Most people won't mind if photos are taken at a reasonable distance. I will be making a presentation of our cheque and you have my permission to video that. Please clear all photos and videos with members before posting anywhere. Thanks in advance.


The Fanny Bay Inn sounds like a good place to meet afterwards to sit down and chat. I am looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

I arrive at Duke Point 9:45am I so hope I get there in time.

Would someone please discuss what Decker has been eating while in captivity? Is he mostly a fish eater? Thanks

I have just received some DVDs from Cawatcher to sell at Decker's release.

If you haven't got your 2009, 2010, or Helping Heart DVDs, please ask me as I will have them available on Friday.

Thanks, Cawatcher.  


P.S. I will not have change so... it will be $20 for the 2009 and 2010 DVDs and $10 for the Helping Heart one.

Google Maps Directions says it is 1 hour and 21 minutes to get from Duke Point to Union Bay.

I will PM you my cellphone number and if you have a cellphone, you could call me when you leave the Inland Island Highway, turning right at Tsable Road to access the old Island Highway #19 and maybe we can wait for you. At least I can tell you what is happening.

They get fish in the flight cage Faerie & I believe vitamin type supplements too. Decker will be fed, pasisite free & in better health than most wild eagles.
