Eagle Watch

One has died

Yes, this last snow storm was brutal. They weren't sure until the snow started melting off the nest, but it's confirmed.
It also took out the microphone and the IR light on camera #1.
The Livestream is using the mic and IR from camera #2 for light and audio now.
It's unfortunate that they lost one, but they still have two health eglets and that's two more than last year after sitting on the nest for 45+ days.

Shadow picked up the deceased eglet and placed it on the edge of the nest yesterday, later Jackie picked it up and flew out of the nest.
The two remaining eglets look to be doing well, and received several meals yesterday.

I wonder if the dead chick was the last hatched and couldn't compete as well for the food brought to them? I wondered that when I seen the 3 of them being fed.

Beautiful! I live in Southeast Ohio. I've been lucky to see a couple. Not many around here, but awesome nonetheless.

How is the eagle population there, anyway? I keep seeing a lot of sites with eagle cams and lots of talk about hatchlings. Up here if we don't see an eagle at least once a day something is off. There are at least a pair of them we see soaring high and they often land in the trees in the backyard overhanging the small river behind the house. About 10-15 minutes away there is a property with an active nest. The young just left it last week. WE hold an eagle watch one weekend here and you often see dozens of them. The fact that it is in poultry farming land is no coincidence. LOL The farmers often discard the dead birds and the eagles feast on them. Most go away in the winter but always return in spring.

Gizmo Fledged this morning at 8:27 AM and flew from the nest tree to the " Simba" tree.
Here is the live feed from camera II, if you go back to about 8:26 and watch you will see her leave the nest
5 days after her sister Sunny.
They both now start a new journey.
