Sweet Karl 11.❤️🙏🌈 I’m so sorry that it was unfortunate that you had to fly in the snow and that you may not have been able to see what was ahead of you.😢😢😔. It truly does break my heart that birds of any kind of species do unfortunately get electrocuted often and fall to their death. I’m pleased that he was able to raise his last two Storklets to have a free and (I hope) happy like too. I know your blood is in those babies of yours and you will live forever in them. I’m still sad for those of you who know Karl 11 a lot longer then I did and my continued condolences to you all and he now has pure white Angels wings. God bless ans love and thank you for the closure. Sue M. Florida,USA ❤️🙏

That is so very sad, a huge loss. The transmitter data tells of what a struggle these birds go thru to survive and breed. Thank you Liznm for all your hard work and dedication to the birds of the world. Without your consistent input I wouldn’t know a single thing about the birds you cover.

Thank You Liznm for the Narrative Description so very thorough explained and update. I just wanted you to know that I have you and the other members in my thoughts and prayers coz I know you're All so devastated by this loss, since you have years invested in the observation of the Karula Nat'l Park Black Storks of Estonia. Although this was my second nesting season, it's so very hard to imagine that such a seasoned adult Stork whose migrated twice annually travelling thousands of miles from Estonia to Africa and back could still meet up with such a tragic fate.💔 ~Rest In Peace Karl II~ Soar High and Free with your loved ones who welcomed you into the Heavens with their open wings!

I had the pleasure to follow Karl's nest for the first time this season. Such a great father he was, caring for and feeding the storklets alone the last few weeks. My heart breaks knowing he perished in such a way, I will miss him dearly. Goodbye Karl 😢

Beloved Karl II - Evidence that he perished on electric pylon 😥 It is an irretrievable loss for all of us
INFO BIRDMAP:
An adult Black Stork, tracked with support of BAltCF project. Breeding in webcam nest of Karula National Park since 2019. Karl II owned the nest after the previous male stork Karl died during the spring migration in Syria. In the spring of 2020, the former female stork Kati did not return from her migration, and a young female, whom observers began to call Kaia, appeared belatedly in May. Kaia laid two eggs, but left the hatching unfinished. After the breedind appeared unsuccessful we got a chance to capture Karl II and install a transmitter on him. So we know that in the previous two autumns, Karl II made a long migration stop on the Black Sea coast between Kherson and the Crimea, and from there flew west around the Black Sea to Africa. During the 2022 migration, this area was a war zone, and Karl II's data was cut off on September 4 before reaching the occupied area. The next data transfer took place only on September 22, when Karl II reached the Ukrainian-Moldovan border, in the Dniester River delta. Then we saw that Karl II had flown to his usual stop over area on the Black Sea coast at Perekop Bay by evening September 5th, but the next day he flew away from there, 80 km north to the Dnipro river flood plaines, while checking the feeding places of previous years. In 6-19 September, Karl II stopped at the floodplains of the Dnipro river, in a militarily sense rather hot place between Kherson and Kahovka. On September 19th, Karl II went to see if the conditions on the Black Sea coast had calmed down, but turned back to the Dnipro river and from there in morning of September 20th, he flew further to the northwest, looking for suitable feeding places. In two days, without finding a good place to forage, Karl II reached the border of Moldova, in the delta of the Dniester River (by the evening of September 22). We will see if that will be a longer stop over or only for a single night. When he arrived in Africa, the connection with Karl II disappeared, as it does every autumn. But at the beginning of March 2023, Karl II started flying towards Estonia from his wintering place (from the border of the Central African Republic and DRC). Karl II made a migration stop over on April 1 due to rainy weather, but the rain turned to snow on April 4, and according to the forecast, the snow will not melt until a week later. The north is free of snow, but Karl II probably doesn't know that. Nevertheless, Karl II breeds successfully in season 2023. There grow up three chicks of four eggs. Last is Karl II to leave for autumn migration. He doesn't know that it will be his last one. Between 1st and 2nd October Karl II lands on electric pylon for night, but got electrocuted. Turkish colleagues searched and found dead body, took away the transmitter.
