Viewers of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources EagleCam were heartbroken over the weekend
captured the moment the nest fell Sunday morning. A mother eagle crouched in the snow-filled nest as it swayed precariously in the wind. A branch snapped, and the nest collapsed as the mother flew backward. The young eagle was later found dead on the ground, the department said in a statement.
The nest weighed over 2,000 pounds and was over 20 years old, the statement said. The department said heavy snow that fell over the weekend — coupled with the weight of the nest — likely just became too much for the branch to support. “During the pandemic, a lot of people couldn’t get outside," Naumann said. “So, they tended to turn to nature cameras for mental health improvement.”
Chung said she posted to Facebook after the nest fell because she couldn't get through to the Department of Natural Resources on the phone. She didn't know the department was already sending staff to help, so she wanted to alert others that the chick — which had just hatched days earlier — was in danger.
