We are heartbroken to report that B14 has died overnight, seemingly from exposure, and was at least partially consumed by one of the parents. We must keep in mind that this is not an uncommon occurrence in many eagle nests.
"We believe B14 was the female's very first offspring and she is very inexperienced," said Dr. Renee Carleton, Professor of Biology at Berry College. "There are many examples in nature of mothers abandoning their offspring for inexplicable reasons. This an unfortunate reality of nature."
Please remember that viewing wild animals in their environment can be difficult at times for humans to watch.
We will continue to monitor the second egg for any pips, and will keep you all updated.
