Bald Eagle - British Columbia / Hornby Island
bcbird:
I was following the chat for awhile, the first egg hatched and the second is expected perhaps by morning. The audio at the site is good enough that the peeping could be heard from the egg distinct from the already hatched eaglet.
Kinderchick:
Susha has reported that there has been a hatch here at this nest. :D
Kinderchick:
Woo hoo! This webcam is now back up and running and there's an eagle in the nest right now! :D

I suppose there's some comfort in the fact that nothing could be done, but it's still very sad. Nature is so cruel at times. Thanks for the update, bcbird.

I happened to return to the Hornby Eagle site and read the final report on the cause of Phoenix's death. She died of sudden and overwhelming fungal inflamation throughout both lungs, the diagnosis, acute bilateral aspergillosis pneumonia. As this was not a disease spread bird to bird, the probable source was from infected prey. Her physical status was within normal limits, and the opinion was that no intervention could have prevented her death.
