So Sad

This indeed is so sad. Thank goodness they are intervening immediately to save the three chicks. These magnificent eagles are so special.

I've been watching the Decorah Eagle nest on web cam since the 3rd chick hatched and I've become so attached to them. I visit every day for a while at work and then when I get home.

I'm so saddened to know that a mama eagle has been killed. . .with her poor babies and mate waiting for her at the nest, wondering where she is. I can imagine how confused and upset papa must be. And now his babies are gone

I hope they do well in their new environment and can be released as happy, healthy teenagers. Let us know if you hear anything else.

The father was actually with the mother when it happened. he was almost hit too but he managed to just barely get out of the way

Someone told me about this the other day... So sad!! Brought back the memories of our male stork who died in an accident 2009. Glad that the eaglets have been rescued. But how sad for the eagle dad who first lost his partner, and now the babies, too...

R.I.P. eagle mom!!
