Live wild eagle cam

[LauAnn]

This is so sad. I've been watching this web cam for the past several weeks. I was shocked and dismayed to check in today and find out the Mom eagle was killed by a landing plane. Fortunately no humans were injured. Many viewers have grown very attached to these eagles and are sincerely concerned for their wellbeing now that one parent has died. It is still unknown if the 'dad' will return to care for the eaglets. It sounds like officials are waiting to see if he returns tonight. If not, they plan to take appropriate action to help insure the eaglets survive. I'm hoping the story had a happy ending.

Looking at the eagle cam now it looks like the eaglets are being fed so hopefully it will work out for the younguns.

Oh this is heart wrenching.

The three eaglets have been moved to the Wildlife Center of Virginia The Wildlife Center of Virginia and set up in a nest in an enclosure. There's a new video stream from there, they say the resolution will improve when they get the kinks worked out of the system.
