A Broken Heart

[Robert Kimbrell]

I arrived last Saturday at one the local nests I follow to find that one of the Eaglets had died in the nest. I later learned he had had died on Wednesday. The two had only fledged a week or so previously. He seemed to be thriving the last time I had seen him, so it was quite a shock. The Adults brought in food several times, but most of my images were deleted as they just were not appealing to me. Here is one that seemed appropriate with the heat shape made by the adults.

I was not sure what was going on here, so the back story certainly helps but it in perspective. If two out of three fledged then I suppose that is good.
