Nova Scotia Power relocated Ethel and Oscar's nest from a utility pole in 2001, after it caught fire. The pair have returned each year and hatched chicks. In 2007, their chicks were killed by a Great Horned Owl just before they fledged. In 2008, they raised Bella who successfully fledged and will likely return to Nova Scotia to rear young of her own.
