Radisson - 2008 / Trey & Princess
Moonstar:
It is so sad about the chicks. I was so looking forward to watching them grow and fledge safely.
You can't blame anyone. It was mother nature.
The weather just has not been co-opeative this year.
With all that rain yesterday, there really was not much anyone could do. I do not think the chicks would have survived even if they had been left in the nest ledge.
It a very sad tragic ending.
I know this is a human response...but I keep wondering how Trey and Princess are. How do they handle this?
They are wonderful parents. I was watching the Minnesota web cam and those parents did not seem as attentive as Princess and Trey were. Just my observation.
I just hope they come back next year and lay eggs, incubate them and raise the chicks to a safe fledging.

Oh I here you Eagle. I was just catching up on my reading, and suddenly came to the end and it was like, wow, normally would be a few pages of info by this time. So sad still.

My day now feels so empty without being able to provide you all with play by plays.

I just found this falcon cam last week. I am so sad to hear the youngsters died. I was just telling family on Thursday how I had watched the parents feeding a pigeon to the little fuzzies. I remember a day early in the week where the little ones were all nestling up to their parent and one of the babies had a wee or was it bowl? Anyways it was so random but amazing to watch these little critters.
I will miss checking the falcon cam every morning. Hamilton Ontario has a falcon cam as well but it only takes snapshots instead of being a live video stream. http://falcons.hamiltonnature.org/ The Winnipeg nest was much more fun to watch and the quality of video is great. I feel like the loss of these birds is very sad and I hope that Trey and Princess have another try for young ones this year.

After a somewhat difficult time getting to sleep, having some sleep, waking up to a new day I am still finding it difficult to express in writing what I am thinking and feeling. Reading through the posts many have expressed what we are all feeling and finding difficult to articulate. So many thoughts were going through my head in the wee hours of this morning that I couldn't get my braint to shut up long enough to fall asleep. One of the things that crossed my mind though was how simplistic Mother Nature truely is. Creatures besides humans are born ,eat sleep, breath, reproduce and yes die. Yet the creatures carry on much faster than we humans do. It's because of our emotions, souls, ability to think, reason and problem solve that life gets so complicated for us. Another thought that passed through the brain waves is what a roller coaster it has been for the Phanatics from the amazing opportunity witness one of Nature's special moments - the hatching of the 3 chicks all in one day. And then to heartwrenching events of yesterday. But in the grand scheme of things that's what life is, the up and downs. And as someone else said, it is rather amazing how 3 little chicks have had such an impact on people from such far reaching places in this country and this world. I feel blessed to have witnessed it all because like so many others not many get that kind of opportunity to be a witness to such an event, at such a precise moment online because it happens so quickly, much less in the wild.
