Just received awful news from JudyB. The mother eagle at the Norfolk Nest, Virginia, was killed this morning in a collision with a US Airways flight: Click here for full report!

Evidently she was bringing back a fish for her three 6-week old eaglets. The father eagle will probably still continue to feed the eaglets and they are large enough so they don't need brooding. And if they do run into trouble, this nest is actively monitored and the three eaglets would soon be rescued,rehabbed and then released.

But it's really sad news.
