Two eaglets have died on Captiva Island in January. Now, the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) is trying to figure out why one of them died.
While the necropsy results have not yet come out or been verified, CROW has said vets found a broken, bloody feather and it’s likely that one eaglet died from blood loss.
Melissa McGarvey from Estero loves the bird’s eye view she gets from the Captiva Eagle Cam.
“I think it’s neat just to be able to have an eye on something in nature that you would never be able to see, and then seeing how they interact with their world and what their life looks like. It’s just very interesting,” McGarvey said.
