Gnu-

You may not be watching the right nest. The mother eagle for the Norfolk Botanical Garden Nest was definitely taken out this morning by her encounter with a US Airways Flight.

The good news is that the dad eagle brought in a fish today and is still feeding the eaglets and the local conservation group (Center for Conservation Biology) is prepared and capable of retrieving the eaglets at a later point if necessary and placing them in a "hacking tower" for eventual release. I'd be willing to bet that some local folks are also providing supplemental fish for dad eagle to harvest.

But it's still sad.
