"Hacking" Defined
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The reintroduction technique, called "hacking," includes collecting
chicks from the wild at five to six weeks old and placing them in "hack
boxes" until they are ready to fly. DNR staff will feed the birds
released from the hack sites while they learn to fly and catch fish on
their own. Male ospreys generally return to nest at the site at which
they learned to fly. Females will follow males to their nesting grounds.
Ospreys usually do not nest until they are three years old. They will
migrate to South America in the fall and may not be seen again in the
Maple River or Kensington Metro Park areas until they are ready to nest.


<LOL>
*grin*
Who knew?  Not what I originally meant, but made me laugh. :)

GSV Is there a weekly award for the wildest subject change?  There
should be, cuz I think I just won it. :-)
I officially nominate Jon for the "Thead Creep of the Week Award."

Wait a minute, something doesn't sound quite right about that...
;-)

Anyway, thanks for the laugh.
