Both the eggs at the Two Harbors nest were taken by Ravens this morning ... as A27 (female) is still missing and A40 had to take a break.

This is not a good at all ...........

Savannah Eagle
I am sad to report that the eaglet was killed by a predator overnight. More information to come.

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. -- Early Thursday morning, staff members of Carolina Raptor Center entered the eagle aviary and found the remains of the eaglet hatched on February 9.
It appears that the almost four-week-old chick was attacked overnight by an unknown predator.

Enhanced predator protection is in place at the eagle aviary, and there were no obvious breaches in the enclosure, providing little evidence as to the identity of the predator. There are numerous carnivorous predators that are naturally found in Latta Plantation Nature Preserve.

“We are particularly saddened by the death of the eaglet in this way, because we put forth tremendous effort to protect our birds,” said Executive Director Jim Warren. “The predator protection includes chain link fencing that is dug into the ground to prevent predators from digging under barricades.”

Savannah and Derek have produced chicks since 2006, and this is the first predator attack in the eagle aviary since the aviary was opened. There is no evidence that any of the resident bald eagles were involved or injured in the incident.

It is common practice at Carolina Raptor Center to investigate all predator attacks and aviary breaches. The center has informed the appropriate officials at US Fish and Wildlife. Center leadership will provide additional information to the Carolina Raptor Center community of staff, volunteers and friends as it becomes available.

Carolina Raptor Center extends sympathies to the thousands of EagleCam watchers and supporters who mourn the death of the eaglet.
The EagleCam is the one of the most popular features on WCNC.com, with thousands of people tuning in every day to watch Savannah, Derek and their family.
We at NBC Charlotte are deeply saddened to learn of the eaglet's death, and we would like to join the Carolina Raptor Center in extending our sympathies to each of you who love and adore Derek and Savannah the way we do.


Fly free, little one. :sorrow:


OMG...this is just horrible!!! I can barely accept something like this in the wild, but at the Raptor Center...in an enclosure...Poor baby...and poor Savannah and Derek..You know they did their best to protect it...

:tissue: :sorrow:

I just wonder what kind of a predator was there at the center that took the eaglet I was always under the assumption it was an inclosed area where the eagles were, it makes me wonder if it could have been one of the other eagles
and poor sweet A40 doing everything he could :sorrow:

I'm pretty sure there is second egg in Osaka Japan. Laid between 1800 and 22 hours local time on March 7.

It is strange. Rehabbers always have to build in serious protection from predators, especially when it is a bird aviary with young fledglings. You know every predator in the area is trying to figure out a way in (usually racoons). Predators can find the weakness if there is one, which I'll bet there is in a big aviary like this. Ugh.

Even though we think our cages are impenetrable, once in a while [not often at all] we will have something get into the outside aviary during the night and it is heart breaking. I have seen nails and staples ripped right out by predators, as if they have tools. Heartbreaking when it happens.
