I watch this cam with my students as my family is from Norfolk and I grew up visiting the Botanical Gardens. This was a real sad story for my kids (and myself) this morning :(. The eaglets have been removed from the nest as they did not think the father could raise the chicks on his own. The chicks are about 5 weeks old. The news clip is below: ** *Tuesday, April 26, 2011 an adult bald eagle was struck and killed by an incoming airplane at Norfolk International Airport. It is believed that this bird was the female of the nesting pair from Norfolk Botanical Garden*(NBG). The strike occurred sometime between 8:30 and 8:50 a.m. These eagles were well known through the Norfolk Botanical Garden Eagle Cam provided by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF), Norfolk Botanical Garden, and WVEC, and have been at NBG since 2003.
