Iroquois NWR Eagles lose nest and Eaglet

[Kris G.]

Just read this on Twitter-very sad as we've gone over there several times this year to watch the parents at the nestsite.  

High winds take down bald eagle nest at Iroquois Refuge, NY, sole eaglet perishes. Eaglet retrieved but did not survive.

I can't take no more! So sad...again! Sheesh.

Ahhhh, no.  That is so sad.  Kathy, Joyce, Brian H and I were there just a few weekends ago.  One adult eagle on the nest and one on the ground near the stream.  Definitely looked like there was a little one in there.  Darn.

That is so sad. Poor eaglet.

I just came across that Iroquois reserve recently as I was looking for a few new birding places while I am home. What a shame!
