How awful. RIP beautiful stork. I hope his/her partner finds another mate and is able have a nest this year. This happened to one of our bald eagles at the local park we have. The female died because an egg got stuck in her birth canal, and she was also quite old. A younger beautiful female came a few days later and now our guy has a mate again. It's sad when they mate for life and this happens. I hope she can start up a family again.
