No Norfolk announced it.

That's odd-they've been posting on moderated chat (after the last update time on this article) and the forum that she'll be going to the Eagle Repository in Colorado as is required by law.

I'll go through my stacks over the weekend...

I guess they are stuffing and mounting mom eagle.   Personally, I would vote against this. Let her rest, bury her near her nest, plant flowers and a nice plaque.

Where did you hear that?

One the Wildlife Center of V fb page. People are disputing it.

Was it WCV announcing it?  I didn't see anything anywhere else...and I can't FB here at work

Nope, just 2 of us here...me and my buddy, Fuzzylump

that's a really funny picture, Ei. Looks like there are SIX

I thought it looked like there were six too!

I think you're seeing the "shoulder" of the right rear screechlet...sometimes all you see is one...sometimes there's more than there are!   

Yesterday, the cams were side by side, now it's like this. Is this what your all seeing? Checking.

That's what I've been getting since the new cam was installed.

For some reason today they're reminding me of those nesting dolls-matryoshka I think?

Snippets from the chat

So is the fishing grounds next to the airport? Dad got out of the way, mom didn't. Do the planes fly right over the river? Dad may have seen mom get hit. It's just a tragic accident. Things like this actually keep me awake at night, worrying.

The gardens are right next to the airport.  The peninsula both are on juts into Lake Whitehurst, which is where they were fishing.
