RIP dear Bald Eagle
Now you are flying high and freely with always a full crop and far from human stupidity
The one who left you like this, one day he will bite his fingers for his inhumanity
Moreover, today is Easter, the feast of the Resurrection. You have suffered enough and now you are free again. Fly, fly as you wish according to your desire...

If someone or many others are ready to take up the torch, here,

To all,
Sorry, my state of health does not allow me to seriously monitor those different nests... Maybe it's only temporary, which is what I hope, or worse, we'll see.

04-08 the 1st and only hatching, at Hanover (Pa), was killed by its Dad the first time he saw it but as soon as Mom flew away for her food. it was a couple of hour old. He will fly with Mom.

04-10 last night the Mom Missy and Dad Berry's beloved B17 died in his nest (not able to eat all the last day and breathing difficulties. It was 16 do. At Berry College (Ga). He will fly with Mom and Dad today ...

from the Chat
PatchyJoe: Berry College Eagles Favorites · 6m · We are sad to report that B17 has died overnight. Though it had been doing well, it appeared to be in some distress
yesterday and things took a quick turn for the worse overnight. Unfortunately there is no way for us to know the cause of B17's death. It is very important now that we do what is best for the eagles and not interfere with the nest. If we had tried to intervene, we could risk injury to the eagles, or even risk nest abandonment.The nest live stream may be



I came back only for my little friend B17

VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED !! Female falcon is having a seizure in the nest and falls down !

Falcon Cam Ede Netherlands 04-19-2024

The female is incubating her 4 hatchlings that aren't a week old yet, when she is having a seizure in the nest at night. She stumbles all over the chicks and can't seem to control her body. Only her wings are working and her legs seem paralyzed. When she snaps out of it, her focus goes back to the chicks and she continues incubating for another 2,5 hours. When the male arrives with food in the morning, she doesn't get up and makes wailing sounds. After he leaves she is having another attack when she tries to get up. Her wings are the only thing that make her move and it takes her outside on the platform where she sadly falls off from. Amazingly the chicks were fine but perished an hour later from hypothermia since they weren't covered and alone in the nest. The male, probably out hunting thinking the female is with them, returned 3 hours later only to find all 4 of them dead Locals searched on the ground for the female but couldn't find her. A very sad turn of events at this nest.
