Tragic Loss: Eaglet Dies as Nest Falls from Tree.
A bald eagle that went viral for refusing to leave its nest during a snowstorm lost its only chick after the nest fell to the ground. The 2,000-pound nest had fallen from its tree, and one of their chicks, who hatched on March 26, died as a result. The pair of bald eagle parents may try to rebuild a nest in the same area, but it is unlikely that they will lay another egg this year. Bald eaglets have a low survival rate, with over 50% mortality rate during their first year of life.
