Does anyone still have the cam open and if so, Is Belle still standing there?

I just went to confirm last movement, because I happened by chance to record it. It was at 1:32 nest time, so an hour and a half ago.

. . . and the fish arrived at 1:53 p.m.

I agree, SGB, there are no words that can soothe this hurt. But having each other to go through it together helps a little.

Thanks Susan...

A little corny, but I don't care....for Paddy..

I am sorry little one. Rest in peace.

I love the sweet angel pic for Paddy O'Joy.

Someone just landed above the cam.

Thank you SGB. It's not corny. We read repeatedly that we shouldn't get attached; that these are wild animals. Makes no sense to me... This little eaglet passed with loving eyes and attention.

I had company and had to stop watching for an hour or so. Came and read your posts and checked cam. I am so sad right now for it does appear we have lost little Paddy. At this time, Belle has left the nest and his little body is laying there alone. I am so sad for him and Belle and Liberty. Why does it have to be so hard for them at this nest the last couple years? That little bobblehead was not just another wild eaglet to some of us. I cant say anything else. Thank you folks for your posts throughout.

Froona and Joanne met little one this afternoon and she is not cold anymore...

Someone just landed back on the nest and called out. Can't see who.

Beth, those are comforting words.

SusanE · **Posted:** Sun Mar 20, 2011 3:41 pm

The visitor just left. Probably Belle, but I could only see the feet.

Thank you Beth.

There is this being posted a few times and it is so special

Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky.
He brought them to the man to see what he would name them;
and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

And we named him Paddy O'Joy...Rest in peace, our dear little one."

Beautiful words, kittenface. Thank you for posting that here.
