There is sad news coming out of the Audubon Centre for Birds of Prey in Maitland, Florida. While we had hoped that no news was good news, it wasn’t. Poor Baby had to be euthanised.
Meadow has died

I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.

I’m so sorry. Meadow seemed to be doing so good and then took a turn for the worst. May the sweet baby Rest in Peace. 🙏💔
Absolutely. It is quite a sad day.
I am in tears…maybe it’s now tears of relief, that she’ll no longer be in any pain / discomfort.. I prayed a lot for her, & quite a few other of my fave eaglets…There’s a special place in heaven with quite a few other eagles, who’ll help all the passed eaglets grow and fly just like they would have, if they were here on earth..

Thank you, Jan. Meadow was very special. We had watched him from egg to beaking to survival to his fall. Soar, little Meadow!
R.I.P. Meadow Fly High ❤️
Yes.
