The nest was seen falling from the tree on an 'EagleCam' shown by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said in a statement that the nest fell just before 8 a.m. Sunday. DNR staff reviewed the site and believe that heavy snow from a blizzard on Saturday caused the branch on which the nest was built to give way.
“I was actually crying,” Denise Chung tells the Associated Press. Chung said she and her kids watched the nest fall in real time and it affected her particularly hard because she knew the eagle lost its baby. “I don’t know if it would have hit me so hard if I weren’t a mom.” Minnesota’s EagleCam has had viewers from around the world for years, the AP reports, with people from 180 countries and all 50 U.S. states tuned in three years ago to watch other eaglets hatch.
