I've had a feeling something was off there, but I couldn't put a finger on it.  They just seemed to be alone more often than they should be.  Very sad.  As they said on the blog, we've been spoiled at this nest by success year after year.

That's one of the reasons I can't watch eagles nests.  The first and last year I did, one sibling pecked the other to death pretty much and that was it for me..and the parent just stood there the entire time.  I was told 'that is their way and the stronger will survive'.  They're beautiful birds but I'll stick to my falcons, we have enough drama of our own with that..no need to go looking for more.

Posted on their blog:

We believe one chick has died and the other is injured (or possibly dead at this point). We're keeping an eye on the cam and we'll turn it back on once we don't have images of an injured eaglet crawling around the nest.

We don't plan on keeping it offline for a long time. Just until the chick's immediate survival plays out.

Nature can really S**K at times. Too many looking for nests now and the trouble starts! I'm with Carly!!! I'll watch a few falcon cams and that's it!
