How sad

Pooh!

I'm sad that I got everybody all involved in watching this and it turned out not to have a happy ending. But that's life. There's always next year.

On the bright side, look at how much mga will be able to get done now.

This is very sad news. I guess this is Mother Nature at work.

Juju!! I'm very thankful I snooped into your folder and found out about that site. I really enjoyed it. Yes, I am totally heartbroken that we didn't have a better outcome, but it gave me something productive to do and look at. :) I will never forget it. What I did get to see was an awesome experience, and hopefully I'll be around from the beginning next time!
Thank You!!

**edit**(PS That includes Hippy, Half, and even Reiki I think.. Whoever else posted about it before..)

I have to say, I was very reluctant to go over to the NU site becuase I was so attached to the Kent eagles. Well, much to my suprise the NU live feed is absolutely amazing. The sound is an added benefit, as well as being able to see the baby's heart beating (no 10 second delay). I just don't like being limited to 10 minute sessions, but that's ok. Still keeping an eye on the Kent nest out of habit.

I'm still very sad about poor Miracle. But at least we can watch the NU baby grow up.

As for the 10 minute session limit. Just hit refresh and you'll get right back to it. That's what I did last night!

Well, I finally have the live feed working and the baby is moving around alot! Star is with her and watching over her! Miracle is opening her beak and wanting to be fed. She's much bigger than she was a couple of days ago.

Oops, edited to add I guess the NU site isn't Star and Miracle. But at least its a baby eagle to watch.

I just saw this message posted by Garry in Kent, WA....

We have just talked to Chuck at WDFW and he is busy hooking up the connection to an other nest in the area where they have one baby chick about 3 weeks old. You will soon be watching a baby eagle grow and take flight. The camera is there and the connections are set. They just need to get it linked and on line for you all to watch. You will need to go to find the link and bookmark it. We hope within the next couple of days. We look forward to this to get our eagle baby fix. Please do not forget all the hard work of Chuck and the folks at the WDFW. Happy viewing

I'm sad, but I know this happens in the wild.

We can watch the other mother with her chick.

This is very sad news today about Miracle. We went through so many ups and downs with this nest this year I was really hoping for a happy ending. Unfortunately life doesn't always turn out the way we would like.

It was not that many years ago that the bald eagle was on the list of endangered species. Through the work of people like those at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the help of observers like Garry and Loraine, these beautiful birds have made a remarkable come-back all over the country and may soon be moved off the list of "threatened" species. Sad endings like the one we shared here are becoming the exception rather than the rule.

If the only thing that Star was able to accomplish this year was to make us all a little more aware of the beauty and wonder of these amazing birds then she has given us a miracle after all.

Thank you Juju for sharing this with us. Despite the sad ending I would not have missed it for the world.

Awwww, thanks, MGA and Reiki. You choked me up.

And Lucy, thanks for getting the info about the new camera setup. Now somebody just has to remember to go check for it and let folks know.

I have tried last night and tonight to look at the NU eagles but only get a black screen. Maybe it is too late in the day when I am trying and they shut off the camera or something?

Hi Juju, I checked and got the livestream feed for NU eaglet. The baby eaglet is opening and closing it's beak probably yelling for mom to feed him/her.

Reiki, that was a beautiful post! So true. Our heightened arwarness is already a gift Star and Miracle gave us for the rest of our lives.


Juju, I too am glad you "got us into this." Thank you!

I have been in denial all day, and then I read Reiki's post and was finally able to shed the tears that I have been holding back all day.

Thanks for letting me experience this with all of you.

I feel the same way as most people here. I have been so sad and tried to just get on with things but I keep coming back and checking the cam just wishing I would see something. I wouldn't have missed this experience for anything. If there had been a baby that learned to fly then, I too would have flown.
