Baldheaded eagle webcam

I made the mistake of seeing the webcam, and I see that he's still there :*( I wonder if the parents will keep coming back until they realize he's gone?

I remember this one time when in my neighbourhood a crow had fledged. But he was on the road, so risking being mauled by the parents, I moved him to off the road. When I came back home later that day, I noticed that he had moved back onto the road and that he had been run over. The parents were squawking at him for over a day and they finally gave up

I'm surprised they have the webcam still running, and more surprised that there isn't a blurb on there saying that he's died. I don't have facebook, so if I hadn't seen it here, I wouldn't have known any different looking at the webcam this morning.

They are discussing in chat whether the camera should still be on. Chat tends toward the sentimental, so people are expressing that they want it on for emotional reasons.

I think it should be on for a while so that parental behavior can be observed (if they come to the nest). And I would love to observe the body removal. It would be nice if there were a way to post a notice. I don't do Facebook either; just happened to check in last night.

so I was a bit mopey this morning about Phoenix's death, so my co-worker who also followed Phoenix's development (much more closely than me, actually) forwarded me a link to the eagles' nests in Vancouver. They've been surprisingly successful with 13 chicks nearing fledge age.

I also found a web cam on one of the nests in a very industrial area. Not as great as the one on Hornby, but it's still good. You have to scroll down a bit on the site, and the second camera works (first one didn't work for me).
