Philippe, thanks for coming in last night/morning. It is very comforting knowing you were here with our sweet B17 in it’s last hours. I hope you are doing better and by the time we have new life here, you will also be healed.
For those just stopping in, Our precious 15 day old B17 became critically ill yesterday and passed away during the night. RIP sweet B17, soar high and free and may you always have a full crop.
We will never know why B17 became sick so quickly, going from a healthy, active eaglet on Sunday, April 7, to a less active, then a lethargic, ill baby on Wednesday, April 10. Mom and Dad provided well for B17, never lacking in food and B17 seeminly ate all the time. Still B17 seemed small for their stage of development; therefore failure to thrive took it’s toll. There has been lots of speculation as to what was wrong, but again we will never know. Thank you everyone for watching this nest. Life goes on and Mom and Dad will continue to be around. I'm going to take a break but will check back every so often.
