Oklahoma Eagle cam: Tragedy strikes...1 eaglet dead

[Donna]

1 April: We wish this was just an April Fools' Day prank, but the youngest chick fell from the nest about 2 pm and did not survive. Tragedy strikes frequently in the natural world, and this is just one example of many. Our cameras show real life as it unfolds, the heartwarming along with the heartbreaking. After some tense moments with the remaining chick on the edge of the nest, it managed to crawl back into the bowl.

That is very sad. Poor eaglet.
