Bald Eagle - Northeast Florida / Samson & Gabrielle
carly:
Egg hatched, baby was alone at the time- the female kept stealing the food Romeo had for it so he was likely out getting more. An eagle came by and grabbed the baby and flew off with it. Likely one of the females..it's gone :'( :'( :'(
ps: I read all this on an eagle blog site - didn't watch as I had a feeling it wouldn't end well.
carly:
There is a pip in the egg now, confirmed by the site. Don't know if that's good news or bad given the female situation here. :-\
Alison:
Still no news of Juliet, and no sign of a pip. There are several female eagles showing up around the nest, and even in the nest. This morning Romeo brought in a fish, and the young adult female took it. Later, he brought another fish, and she stole that one too.
As if Romeo doesn't have enough problems; he is barely able to take short breaks to find food.
Alison:
Searchers continue to look for Juliet, but so far there has been so sign of her. :'(
Meanwhile, Romeo has been incubating around the clock, with only short breaks. He is the best!
So far, there has been no sign of a pip in either of the eggs.
The young adult female continues to follow Romeo around. When he brought a fish to the nest today, ate part of it and saved the rest, she came in and ate it. :(
The live cams are down again.
Alison:
For the past couple of days, people have been out searching for Juliet, but no updates of any kind were posted.
This is the first update, at 12:13 p.m. nest time today.
The NEFL ground crew recruited others to assist in a lengthy search for Juliet yesterday. Several means of awareness have been exercised. The Hamlet and surrounding area is very dense and much of the mile radius around the nest is not accessible or is private property, so any search is difficult. A stranger even offered to take the crew out on a boat to search along the intracoastal for our Juliet. Thank you to Kris and her son Edan and for our on-site photographer, Tatine.
Our prayers are that Juliet is ok and healing and gaining strength to return to the nest.
