No. We'll probably never know why. The chick didn't develop properly or the egg just wasn't viable for whatever reason. The parents keep sitting on it though
This is really a neat live cam. Thanks so much for sharing.
So beautiful those birds are and their nest is amazing.
We have an occasional hawks nest in our trees and they also build really large nests. Its so neat to see those eagles.
People dont realize that birds like eagles and hawks try to put their nest way at the top of a tree for safety reasons. They can see anything approaching from below if they are at very top and they dont have to worry about attacks from above except for other flying birds which they usually can defend themselves.
Its natures wonder at its best. I love the company describing how they let nature takes its course. We humans have to realize that we sometimes do more harm than good if we interfere with nature.
Only people that really know what they are doing should ever try to help or interfere with nature. A good example is when humans try to touch babies to help them back in a nest and then the mother will sometimes abandon the baby altogether because human scent is now on the baby. Just a small example. I did onetime help a baby chick that fell out and I wore rubber gloves and put it back. I saw the mother come back and all was fine because I had the rubber gloves on. I probably should not have interfered at all but it was one of those situations where I knew the baby was way too small to be trying to fly. He had no feathers yet hardly
The people who are managing that eagles nest area seem to have very good advice and they are doing things the right way.
thanks again for sharing.
