Baby bald eagle dies less than 2 days after birth

ROME, Ga. - A baby bald eagle that hatched Wednesday on the campus of a northwest Georgia college has died after less than 48 hours of life.
Berry College announced Friday that the eaglet, labeled B14, had died overnight after it apparently got too far away from its parents and got too cold. One of the adult eagles at least partly ate the dead offspring, which the college said is not an uncommon occurrence in many eagle nests.
The college maintains a 24-hour webcast of the nest.
Berry College biology Professor Renee Carlton said observers believe B14 was the first eagle hatched by the female, who is new to a nest where another female successfully hatched a number of eagles. The female is still incubating a second egg expected to hatch any day.
