Thank you LadyHawk as i know this kind of thing is tragic and hard for you to post. Big hugs❤

Oh my little baby 😢She was loved and will be remembered. I will miss her precious little voice. Rest in peace sweetheart. Fly high & free sweet one.💜🦅😢 Thank you lady hawk for the news. 💜

I've been waiting for your video Lady Hawk. You always find the right words. Yesterday I watched everything, but not to the end. Little One's Cries (+Memories of Klints) Too Sad for me! Such a strong, healthy chick had to go. Fly high sweetheart ❤ And yes, I know nature can be cruel.

Thank you . Well explained and appropriately edited. Positive thoughts for the remaing eaglet future.

😢😢 so sad...😢😢 white lil fluff ball.. Fly high, lil Eaglet 💔 Hoping the youngest fluffy ball is healthy🙏 Keep warm, dear Eagle family🙏🙏 May the weather be nice there🙏

It’s crazy they are fine picking it up after it’s dead but doesn’t try while it’s alive.

How very sad! 😪 They really aren't equipped to handle a situation like this. Truth be told, I was prepared to see a tragedy between the chicks. It happens quite often with Golden Eagles, unfortunately. 😢 Rest in peace, sweet little eaglet! 💐 TYLH! 😿 Be blessed, everyone! 🙏🦅💖🤗💕

What a heartbreak. I will be praying for this nest, and that the second baby we'll make it. It's such a shame they have to have the babies in bad weather.😢 thank God for a good father to. RIP precious one. Thank you Lady Hawk, GB and TC. 🙏🩵🦅🕊

I am so sorry tiny one. It is hard to understand how an eagle parent’s instincts will work. ❤

Why it was abandoned outside when still alive?

Awwwww.the poor lil nugget. I can't watch anymore right now. Poor Mom Sending hugs & luv..😟😓💖💖💖

oh her little peeps oh ... 😟😢😥 that little angel . it was weird as she held onto the food and went out of the nest bowl. I have never seen that before .. little angel did the best she could ...

That is so sad. 😢 I wonder why she didn’t try to help it get back into the nest? Poor baby. It was trying and just didn’t have the strength. 🐣🙏🏻❤️

What a trip, wonder why she didn’t pick it up and move it back to the nest…..how crazy was this..

😢😢😢😢RIP BABY CHICK

I didn't watch it, I can't see it, the description is enough. It's a horrible incident.💔🐥😭

RIP little one! You will be missed! 😢

Rest in peace little one 😢

That’s so sad🙁🙁

😓💔😓 Oh God!! What a painful tragedy!! 😭😭 I'm deeply saddened and distressed by this irreparable loss. 😭😭 Another precious life gone so soon. 💔🐥💔 RIP little one!! Fly high and free on your little wings, sweet little angel. 🙏❤️🐥🌈🙏 You will be remembered forever. 💞🐥💞 Sending prayers, love and strength to this precious family and everyone affected by this terrible tragedy. 🙏💞🙏 Thank you for this update, Lady Hawk.

O no that's very unfortunate and sad rest easy little one

And you know adults have feelings too they will sit there and grieve is there another one in there besides that one

😢 It's always sad when something like this happens. Fly high little one.

Golden eagles look beautiful though

So sorry, little one. You are so loved and will be missed. RIP, sweet baby. Thank you, Lady Hawk. 💞🙏

So precious and so young. Unfortunate tragedys seem to happen in the animal kingdom. Little birds have such a hard time as well. Sad news again. RIP SWEET BABY.. ❤

В начале видео видно,что мама сама в клюве вытащила малыша из под себя. Почему? Может он был не совсем здоров и мама так избавилась от больного ребенка? Или он нападал на младшего и она так предотвратила драку, пожелев младшего? Или поняла,что двоих им невырастить-мало еды ? Но почему она убрала старшего, более крепкого? Может старший был девочкой, а младший -мальчик и она оставила по половой принадлежности? Это мы некогда не узнаем. Можем строить только догадки. Спасибо огромное за видео !😢

Wow how unfortunate 😢 I know instincts kick in and all that good stuff but it baffles my mind that birds don’t have the ornate ability to pick up a chick and gently move it about the nest anywhere, but have the ability to gently grab a good sized branch, break it off, then carry that stick anywhere and drop it. Same with prey as mentioned LH. They can pick up a mouse in their beak and hold it like a toy in their talons and “play” with it like a toy. OK cool man! Be my guest, have at it. Grab the baby and drag it like that toy and let go in the bowl. I’m sorry so frustrating LH! Thanks for the vid so much 😢

Oh No, 🤭😵😥😢! R.I.P. Sweet Precious Golden Baby! Thanks Lady Hawk, Heartbreaking News!

😭🐤💔 =🐤❤

My God 😢 Well we're all here voluntarily. We understand the risks... RIP little one

💔💔💔

Didn't one of Harriets eaglets escape from the nest bowl once? She nudged and pushed the baby back into the bowl but it took her forever. (maybe it was a different site?) RIP little one.

😪💔

Thank you LH.

So sad that Lucina did not scoop the chick gently back to the nest bowl.😥It was only a couple of inches away. RIP sweet angel!🐥❣

A Terrible Tragic ending for Chick #1. Very Sad 😢unfortunate circumstances ,and accidental 😢Such a Shame.. I'm very tearful, Especially a perfectly healthy chick.. Its Nature we know.. Let's hope all will go well with #2Chick.. Thankyou Lady Hawk ❤🙏😪💙💗❤

RIP #1 😪💔🙏 and merci Lady Hawk. I saw that after Pascale told me but i didn't know it was the elder. Fly high and Freely with always a full crop little one. Stay araound your nest to protect your family and your life isn't finished as you will finally fly with Mom and #2.

F H litle One ,,,,a mum like this , with experience i don t understend why She knows that the chic is out the ball nest and doesn t take it to their 🤔🤔,,,maybe the One chic unless grow up is the the thing , i don t now

Is this what the adult looked like as adults ? If so that’s so cool

Thanks Lady Hawk.

Sad turn of events in Bucovina 😢 will hope and pray 2nd eaglet grows strong and fledges. Fly free little one ❤️‍🩹🤍🤎

Dear Lady Hawk ♥️ So sad - Rest in Peace Little One ❤

I can't watch.. Gives me anxiety. I read the info so thx Lady H. Is the nest from my home land and it makes me sad but life goes on.. Lucina is a good mom. Caliman such a good provider. Small and beautiful family.

This was so sad! We watched as it happened, and Ive rewatched many times bc it was so odd. Partly looked like an accident, as you described LH, but a couple things suggest it was not that simple. It was complex, bc like you said, the cold was getting to Lucina with visible shiver spells. She'd already cut feedings short, imo bc when she tried to feed e1 was getting aggressive to e2, and none were eating much effectively & It was clear to see Lucina was observant of it and she would end it abruptly. We dont see how feeding was going, she had her back to us. But if you look right before the accident, she looks a cpl times directly at the area right next to nest bowl, where e1 ends up. She tries to help in ways that I believe she expected e1 to accomplish--breaking branches, also rotates her brooding body so that e1 is under her tail and couldve used her body, beaked her tail feathers and did start to move fwd, but stopped. I think e1 was too cold, too quickly. But the question everyone had is why, when the ec is so close that Lucina could position herself over it and shuffle/scoop with her beak, easily and quickly. We see them do it all the time. She did not. She stared at e1 the entire time as it froze. It was horrific. I do NOT think she abandoned e1 and still think accident is the best description. But I think there was more to it. Id already seen Lucina gently nudge e1 when it was bonking a lot, Id seen her be much more inclusive of e2 in feeding, which it seems they often dont and older always gets first dibs. Notably, e1 was not great as grasping food with beak, and was more into bonking at meals than feeding. Her cutting feeds short suggests she noticed poor feeding habits too, that had to be balanced with cold exposure, and it was e1s antics. Again, not saying on purpose, but do say I tjhink she expected e1 to have the same tenacity at climbing back in bowl as it has in feeding time antics, esp since she coaxed it back. When we see BE parents give food to oldest 1st, when younger gets bonked, we explain the didcomfort of watching it as a survival driven instinct. Heck I watched River straight up ignore 19--completely, I also watched our delightful joy 22 get seconds every time, and sometimes 21 got it all. Look how all of these nests turned out. We also see the skills the youngest acquire when they do pass that initial test--its an inner strength test and if they can make it, they are better from it. What Im saying, is I think there was a survival driven choice by Lucina, knowing e1 is full of energy, has what it takes if helped. But saving it entirely where it needed no strength itself was with survival in mind, the same way we say it is when parents feed oldest 1st. At minimum. But it is also a possibility (that I hate) but its that she did do it on purpose. As a time out (using human words bc we are human but obviously I describe something no less likely than when we explain away oldest eating all the food and younger missing meals). That e1 was disrupting feeds and not even successfully getting food itself, with interest to bonk and attack for the last day more than even itself eat--and Lucina knew the weather would not allow them to make it long with this--and nether were eating enough. Ive been watching since they hatched and before this noted the feeds were getting less productive as bonks increased. She put e1 outside nest (it wasnt far as we see) at the exact place she looked at 3-4 times right before. Expecting if it has inner survival drive, it will come back. This wouldve been a lesson similar to what youngest ones learn in feed deprivation. Or do we say one is a survival driven instinct but one is not. This particular situation, I believe, as a snapshot looked like simple accident. If viewed as one scene in a longer reel, Id say there was more to it. But all of it was from the same survival instinct, I def dont think it was abandoned, but do think the choice was made for the good of both Es, to coax and help, but not rescue it. She could have and we all know it. It was with the expectation e1 would grab hold of her tail, would respond when she encouraged it back, immediately. BUt when it didnt, she had to watch the worst thing ever. And I believe in eagles world, watching this is the worst but what is understood as survival for the rest. Sorry so long, I love GEs, they are like a wonder in the world--almost like a mythical creature, very mysterious and solemn. Not the rip roaring moments we see with the BEs sometimes in their animated ways and chortles. TLDR-I believe we witnessed more than a simple accident, but calling it that is probably best since its debatable w/unverifiable details by us viewers, but imo based in the day leading up to it, more complex. It was a correction instinct driven by survival minded parent in freezing weather, who we could see was observant of nonproductive feedings, and cutting them short, to balance with conserving body heat. Who expected e1 who'd been very feisty until then, to use the same grit to climb back this very short distance, esp when coaxed immediately. And she stared as it happened knowing once initial minutes passed, it was past recovery. This occurrence has the same survival instinct as when we see the older bonkers getting fed all the meals, while younger misses some and submits. And either they dont make it past that, or they become E22.

My great grandkids said at 6:40 Lucina looks at her screaming chick, made no rescue attempt and then she seemed willful to neglect! 7:35 her chick pleaded one last time then it crawled to face away from mom as if it knew it's fate...sad really

💦💦💦very sad precious baby died broken heart 💔 blessed to other precious baby 🙏🌹♥️💦💔🐥

I didn't realise what had happened at the Bucovina nest this year. 😔 Thanks, though.

😢😢😢😢

RIP little one 🙏 However life will be easier for the second chick now . The deceased one had been quite aggressive towards him/her then.😢😢😢

Sooo dad. 😢😢😢

I watch a cam on storks in The Netherlands, and three of five storklets died from exposure, but in a different way. The parents got wet in the rain and brooded the chicks, making them wet, too. When they left to find food, the smallest chicks died of hypothermia. SIGH!

Golden eagles are very hardy species, being well adapted to cold climates, however they cannot abide declining available food sources in the northern stretches

So sad.

To me it seemed Lucina keep adjusting herself to see if she could get close enough for the little one to get back under her but unfortunately she couldn't 😢 On a lighter note I did get a good laugh at 13:27 when the E had a PS 😂

It appears after feeding mom realizes what’s amiss and thinks of moving the pine branch then looks confused!😢

whenever I’ve seen this species in the past it’s been an experienced res couple (those in Estonia). from what I understood this is a species similar to Verreaux/ African black eagles; there might be more an one egg, even up to 3 (usually 2?) hatches. due to the amount of food the parents provide the kids etc it winds up being a one eaglet, one juvenile fledged from a nest a season. this is only based on a who is thriving basis.

Эта случайность сыграла в пользу второго птенца, иначе старший убил бы его. Редкий шанс дя №2.

😭😭😭sorry

This is so sad.

It's that bird brain...They know how to pick up prey but not realize they can/need to move the chick back under them.

😢 ..so close yet so far.. 💔 RIP little one 🌈🐥🌐💚

You'd think all types of birds would've learned how to better deal with this situation through evolution. But over and over across many different species, when the hatchling wanders too far from the nest bowl, the adults seem powerless to remedy the situation. Fixing this problem just simply is not a part of their instinctual programming...... an overwhelming majority of the time, at least.

Why can't they try to pick up baby with beak ever so carefully, like they so carefully feed them?

Sorry, mas na minha opinião a natureza sabe o que faz, este pequeno já estava batendo no irmão e não deixando ele comer.

I think this species of eagle are not good food gatherer, their nest always have less abundance of food unlike other species of eagle

Poor mama!! It was as if she was trying to figure out a way to get it back in.. i noticed she broke the sticks hoping baby would get back in the nest bowl! I really wish she had the instincts to nudge baby back in 😭 i feel so sad for her
