This is so sad, but good that the remaining eaglet was able to remain in the nest.
Over a dozen Turkey Vultures were injured in a spring hailstorm and were transported to Rocky Mountain Raptor Program for care.
It's been a hard year for big birds in Colorado!

On May 30, a localized hailstorm at Rocky Mt. NWR killed one of the 2 adult Bald Eagles, who was found below the nest with a head injury, and killed a juvenile as well. One juvenile was alive in the nest during the following week when Arsenal biologists visited the nest site daily, and it was not taken to rehab. The adult's body was taken to the National Eagle Repository which is at the Arsenal. When you drive along the Wildlife Drive and come to the first crossing of First Creek, all the cottonwoods have been stripped of leaves, and it looks like Winter! The storm was so localized that it spared the 2 Swainson's Hawk nests about a mile away.--
