While all three baby eagles died, their parents survived and were seen in a secondary nest in the same tree
Three Baby Bald Eagles, which developed after online, died when their nest was killed by a tree against the background of strong storms.
The orgs were born in a 22-year-old tree nest at the National Fish & Wildlife Service Training Center in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. In 2005, a camera facing the nest was installed so that people could observe the bald eagles in their natural habitat. The camera allowed animal lovers to watch baby eagles born in the spring of 2025 by parents Bella and Scout, to hatch and grow before their death.
On April 19, as heavy storms passed through the Western Virginia, the Eagle family’s nest was blown up to the ground and destroyed, with the Eagles still inside.
The National Training Center shared the sad news on Facebook.
“After 22 years, the bald eagle nest at the National USFWS Conservation Center is gone,” the center wrote.

The post continued: “Unfortunately, none of the three organs survived after the fall of 90 feet. They were four weeks. Fortunately, the two elderly eagles seem to be good and were seen flying and landing in the nest tree.”
In Q&A live on YouTube, next week, a member of the Randy Robertson team, a Mom of Eagle Bella was in the nest when she was blown up and managed to escape only “in the really last microsecond.”
He noted that Bella could be seriously injured if she hadn’t gotten out.
Unfortunately, the nest flying was not an option for baby eagles. Robertson explained that the eagle began flying about 12 weeks in his life.
As the storms destroy the original nest, the eagle parents began to build a secondary nest in the same tree in 2024.

“This new nest is in a very strong section of the tree and has minimal damage. We hope that the eagle couple will use this new nest to raise their young people next season,” the Facebook center wrote.
Later, the facility confirmed that Bella and Scout “returned to the lower nest” and “began to fix the nest after the big wind storm last weekend.”

“Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your good words and support during this difficult time. Love and condolences mean as much to us as we all grieve for the loss of our sweet beloved eagles and their nest,” the Facebook center added.
The specialized followers rushed to the comment section to respond to the news, some noted that they had a history with the now destroyed in the decade of the old nest, which houses numerous eagles over the years.
“I have watched this nest for 10 years or more. I am so devastated by what happened, and my heart hurts for Bella, Scout and the fallen angels,” one man writes. “To look at the Eagle Family daily, to unite, to grow and connect is a blessing in itself. But to witness such a horrific event, and in a moment you see how this family is torn apart is heartbreaking.”
They continued, writing: “For most people, they are just birds, wild animals, we laugh and say….
