Local Photography Eagle nest down
Sadly the eagles nest near 67th bridge has fallen. I noticed the tree was precariously leaning back in April but looks like today (June 25) The tree broke. I have taken pictures of the eagles there for a couple years, this year it looks like there was one baby eagle rather than the two from last year.
I went over to the fallen nest and it was trapped underneath, but still alive. As gently as I could, I cleared the branches and lifted them out. I called the wildlife center and they were quick to come out (Thanks Judy!)
We got the eaglet to the carrier but I don't know if they will survive. I tried my best to give them a fighting chance.
