- The eaglet who hatched on the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' EagleCam livestream last week has died after its nest fell from its tree Sunday morning.
Omg 😭 this so heartbreaking!! Eagles are such good parents, this is so sad. Poor baby!!
I was watching this with some of my co workers, that was the only eagle egg to have made it out of the others that cracked or didn’t hatch and the sole survivor only lived long enough to have its own take away. Truly this is a tragedy as it was such a special event to witness and the hardships the eagle parents went through. Let’s do our part and respect not only the animals but our environment
So sorry for your loss 🌹🦅🦅🦅
*_I'm sending all sentient beings prayers._*
Eagles always build a great nest. There are nests all over AMERICA. Donmt intervene and bother THEM. DONMT TOUCH IT. I. Et it means something for MINNESOTA. LEAVE THE EAGLES ALONE.
Dang so sad.prayers to the Eagle family 🙏🙏🦅
Heartbreaking Day in The Eagle World Today 🥺 Poor Little One 😔
Poor little thing and mom and dad…. 😢
This absolutely breaks my heart.
Poor little guy was probably wondering what the hell was going on.
This is so sad
What, if anything, can be done by the Wildlife Commission to stabilize dead trees and limbs in order to prevent future devastating situations such as this one from occurring to other Eagle Families that are nesting in known old dead trees? Can the Wildlife Commission contribute towards the start of building a new nest for the Eagles in another tree that's in good condition and very close to the dead tree and hope that the Eagles will take over completing the new nest and move in it or is it solely for the Eagles to rebuild in the same tree or a different tree? I understand that this is nature and animals are meant and made to survive by natural instincts, however, so are humans, yet, at times we need a little help along the way. The weather has been very brutal for our Eagles in certain areas and we have had some heartbreaking moments with our 🦅.
This was absolutely heartbreaking.
They likely don’t need it. They can find another tree easily on their own. It would also take a lot of money to stabilize a ton in the top of a tree. That money could be better spent on a species that needs it.
This sort of thing has been happening since the start of time. Hopefully the eagles will choose to rebuild in a healthy tree. While it's sad for them, a dead tree can be beneficial to several other varieties of birds that don't build nests weighing 2000 lbs, especially once large branches or portions of the trunk break off. Screech owls and Barred owls love to make nests in hollowed out sections of dead trees.
Why wasn't something done before this happened to reduce the size and weight? Or, to move it to another location that was more sturdy?
You don’t interfere in nature normally, very rarely should you. Eagle populations have bounced back. They’re still protected mind you, yet interfering is never a good idea.
It's a wild bird nest, not some pet or zoo animal. Humans in this scenario will try to avoid messing with what nature has decided to do
Well, if one even decides one should interfere with nature, one would have to "reduce the size and weight" at an optimum time, like when they're not using it. Small window there. Then, if they decided there was too much human shenanigans going on, the eagles might decide to move, so that wouldn't have the desired effect. If they didn't decide to leave, they'd just keep adding on to what was taken away, so you'd only have been buying them three, four years tops? Moving it might make them spooky about using it in a new area. Plus, how would you move it? It weighed 2000 pounds, and was woven together. You couldn't just take off the top layer.
Eagles will immediately start on a new nest and have it ready in no time.
Sad, but eagles are resilient, I’ve watched this nest since the pandemic, gives me hope and joy listening to nature!🦅
Very sad. Tragedy mimicking another tragedy😭🙏
😔❤️
Did anyone actually go check the eaglet?
I get the whole thing about nature happens, but if I was one of the people involved, I would HAVE to have headed out there the second that happened, to at least check that against all probability the chick might have survived that fall and not been crushed. I would HAVE to know for sure.
Stick to being a mom of someone who does something. Please
@@twerktospec Are you talking to me?
😭 💔
So so very sad. 😪😪😪😪😪
😱😭😭💔
Poor parents I feel bad
😢😢😢
oh wow that is a shock
Nooooo!!! 😢😭
Why didn’t they do something? Why couldn’t they have supported that nest when she wasn’t nesting with eggs…. To say that they were worried for years and there was nothing that they did to help support. That nest is absolutely appalling. I don’t understand.
❤
Very sad it was a cute Eaglette
Wait, you're saying there are ugly eaglets?
Newscasters love dirty laundry. They smile while giving us bad news.
My avatar is this nest 😢 Rest in peace Batman 👼💔😔
sad , The nest was 2000 pounds ???????? no way
Poor family Little One didn't have a chance to start - parents are in mourning probably blaming themselves So Sad
A bad luck after the other. Falling the nest is more than heartbreaking! 🥲🥲Thanks to all showing and helping the bald eagles. Please give them names! ❤️🥲❤️🥲
BARK
Nest restoration...
2000lbs eagle 🦅 nest? I find that hard to believe
One of the largest eagle nest on record weighed 2 tons. Shocking, but these nest are massive!
They become the size of a VW beatle
You should educate yourself more then. Not exactly crazy
A perfect representation of the current state of the country
Amen......
They shouldn’t have named it Flyin Biden 😂
Plenty of eagles. Idaho is over populated with them.
and the world is over populated with Humans
Fishing on the Gull Lake chain - Brainerd @ 4 years ago. Saw a loon pair with a young loon on the back of one. Lakeshore resident and I talking about the baby loon. He stated that earlier that year there were some 50+ baby loons on the chain and there were only 1 or 2 left as the eagles had eaten the rest of them! True story but I can not warranty it as total fact! Any drive in this area you will see Bald Eagles!
Maybe there are some near you, but Idaho only has 234 nesting pairs, not many. Top four bald eagle pop states: Alaska has 30,000, Minnesota has 9,800, Wisconsin has 1,600, and Florida has 1,500. All other sates are much less. You see them in Minnesota wooded areas (even some neighborhoods) without even trying.
WHIPDEEDOO
Grow up
Too bad it didn't land on your empty head.
And it was delicious
