The nest was seen falling from the tree on an 'EagleCam' shown by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said in a statement that the nest fell just before 8 a.m. Sunday. DNR staff reviewed the site and believe that heavy snow from a blizzard on Saturday caused the branch on which the nest was built to give way.
“I was actually crying,” Denise Chung tells the Associated Press. Chung said she and her kids watched the nest fall in real time and it affected her particularly hard because she knew the eagle lost its baby. “I don’t know if it would have hit me so hard if I weren’t a mom.” Minnesota’s EagleCam has had viewers from around the world for years, the AP reports, with people from 180 countries and all 50 U.S. states tuned in three years ago to watch other eaglets hatch.

EagleCam shows heavy winds blow nest from tree; eaglet diesViewers of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources EagleCam were heartbroken over the weekend. The nature livestream captured the moment when strong winds from a severe weather system whipped an eagle's nest out of a tree Sunday morning. The nest was holding a newly hatched eaglet. The young eagle was later found dead on the ground. State officials said the nest probably fell because recent heavy snow just became too much for the branch to handle. The EagleCam has mesmerized viewers for years. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says people from 180 countries and every U.S. state had tuned in to the EagleCam to watch other eaglets hatch three years ago in the same nest.
