Trio Bald eagles

What is happened there? No parent to see for some times, it rains and the chicks look not good to me.


Have the parents abandoned their nest and eaglets? OMG, it looks, that the younger one is no more move. A poison from prey?

It must be happens something terrible!

Yesterday all was still good!

OUR NEST IS IN DISTRESS! Shortly before 6 PM Friday evening it became apparent that the Trio Nest was under attack from another eagle. In the course of protecting the nest one of our Trio engaged with the outside eagle. It gradually became apparent that one of our eagles did not return to the nest. Thanks to USFWS Savanna District Manager, Ed Britton and Assistant District Manager Russell Engelke for their efforts in searching the entire area to attempt to locate the eagle. Unfortuantely, they were not able to find the eagle. There are two remaining adults who appear to be Valor I and Valor II. Valor II sat on the nest all night and Valor I relieved him this morning. The two adults are in trees near the nest but the search activity in the woods caused them distress and perhaps their move to vantage points off nest. It is our hope that they will care for their young as they did overnight and this morning. We are in uncharted territory ourselves and cannot give you more anwers, explamations or possible outcomes. NATURE CAN BE CRUEL. We understand those who may wish to avert their eyes from the nest. Bonnie

I cant watch it, Birdfriend, but its possible that they die.

[Birdfriend]

I can it not conceive, but all things can change from one day to another day!

If this male duo will raise the chicks, it would be nice example of the parental instincts. Fingers crossed!
Yesterday I was afraid that one of the chicks is not well, cause Birdfriend posted that it does not move. I averted from cam. But glad to hear that both dads Valor(s) are close. And a lot of food in the nest.

[Birdfriend]

I'm so glad about these pics, Lubaska, yesterday the younger chick has no movement made over 1,5h. His head was down, I had really fear.

Hanover s eaglets!

They live in the nest full of smelly food :), they are fighting, pecking each other, wrestling even when sitting under the parent.

Mary (younger eaglet) lies down after being pecked by Cody (older eaglet)

These are not official names, but derived from CODorus park and MARburg lake where the nest is located.
