First wild golden eagle chick

Good news, the first wild golden eagle chick in a hundred years has hatched in Ireland. The chick was born with a sibling which unfortunately died after five days so there is only one left, so people are getting understandably nervous about the second chick surviving.

RE: First wild golden eagle chick

That is such wonderful news! It is understandable that people would be nervous about the first chick, but it's a start.
