Sigh.

Brutus and Lil Guy were knocked off the nest tree in the wee hours of Saturday morning by an owl.

It is rare for an owl to attack a grown eagle. They usually target unguarded eggs and chicks in an eagles nest and have been known to tango with incubating parents.

The brouhaha brought the parents roosting nearby to the nest tree.

Brutus is fine tho a lil skiddish. Never left the tree all day. And was calling out frequently.

Lil Guy has not been seen since 3:30 am Saturday.

Ground crews searched the area from dawn to dusk without success. At least they didnt find any eagle remnants which is a hopeful sign.

Parents have kept a visible presence in the area and spent the night in the nest tree. All have been calling out but there has been no response.

One can only hope Lil Guy is somewhere nearby, unhurt, and either laying low or just unable to get his bearings after being thrown into the night.

He has proven himself to be one tough survivor. I'm hoping he will show up this mornin, squeeing for breakfast.
