Exactly how I feel. I have been so blue since hearing about it this morning---there is no way I can watch the video. I know things happen to wildlife all the time that we never know about, but it's still heartbreaking.

I saw a photo of mama eagle back at the nest. I wonder if she knows that one of her babies survived.

Makes me feel so sad. I hope that they are reunited at some time.

JORDAN LAKE EAGLET UPDATE: Per the Carolina Raptor Center:

I am sorry to report that we do not have good news. The eaglet from Jordan Lake had to be euthanized this morning after surgery to repair a new break in his/her wing.

FROM DAVE SCOTT, DMV, staff vet:
We discovered an open fracture of the left humerus today. It was very close to the elbow joint (wing). We took him to surgery to attempt to repair it but we were not successful. The fracture likely occurred in the last few days and this explains his previously discovered high white blood cell count. Fractures like this are not common but they do happen, and this is one of the main reasons why we try to limit contact and handling of young birds.

In this case, we decided to euthanize the bird as he had multiple other serious issues including a fracture of the tarsometatarsus (leg/ankle) and anemia. We also could not rule out other internal damage or a pelvic fracture resulting from the original fall from the nest. In addition, we had not been able to stabilize his weight and he has been regurgitating more recently. Overall, the prognosis was never very good, but we did our best.
We ask you to please ask questions here on this FB page instead of calling the center.
