Ranger Mom has not been seen at Ranger Cove in 4 days. Ranger Dad is looking for her and at the same time protecting their nest. The eggs are no longer viable but that doesn’t stop the father bald eagle’s vigilence. My heart ached as I watched his loyalty and bravery as other bald eagles tried to take advantage of the situation. It is doubtful that Ranger Mom will return but we are all watching and waiting along with Ranger Dad.

only the Creator knows what happened to her. I could play a lot of scenarios in my mind but no one that we know of actually observed whatever incident caused her to be away from the nest.
