Sad Story.....

I haven't posted in quite a long time, but after seeing Cheryl's story about the death of this eaglet, I thought I'd post this one. I was in the Tierra Verde area for a couple of weeks in early March. This eaglet was flapping and exercising it's wings preparing to fly. I thought by this time it would have been out of the nest and doing well. A lot of people, both local and visitors, were emotionally invested in this nest. We'd stop by every day and watch for a few hours hoping that one of the adults would bring back a fish, or just come in to land. I was sad to hear that the eaglet had died. I hope that this pair will nest in the same place next year, and again be successful with a better long term outcome.
