Captiva ~ Saying Goodbyes 💔 Cal & Clive Cover Lusa's Body w/ Nesting! Cal Lies Next To Lusa 2.16.24

After the passing of Lusa in the middle of the night, Cal stayed close to his older sibling and in the morning, looked down at Lusa and began to gently pick some of the bugs & carrion beetles off of her face- in a loving gesture. Cal was probably not understanding why Lusa would not wake up 💔 As the morning went on, Clive brought in some strip bark as nesting and puts in on Lusa. Cal joins in with Dad and begins to place nesting material across Lusa's body...perhaps in a gesture of saying goodbye. Cal did have a fish and self fed and he did wingercising and appears to be in good health ♥ Whenever Cal wanted to lay down and rest - he chose to lie next to his sibling. At the end of the day, Cal backed up and stepped on Lusa's body and seemed a bit unsettled and confused...then stepped down and laid next to her one more time. Cal has always had a sibling to interact with and he used her body as a feather pillow...keeping her close. What will happen to Lusa's body? Connie & Clive may remove her body and push it off the nest or to the corner of the nest, they might cover it with nesting material or they may consume it and feed it to Cal. If the parents had pushed Lusa's body off the nest, Connor mentioned he was ready to retrieve it and bring it in for a necropsy. The window for doing a necropsy is within 24 hours of death however, that is no longer an option to determining the cause of Lusa's death. Connor also mentioned that if the parents do start to consume her body, they would cut the main cam so we do not have to watch that being done (keeping the side view cam up for those who want to watch that process). It has been a very sad last three days here at the Captiva nest, but we will always remember how Lusa touched all our hearts and made us smile with her zest for life. She is gone but never forgotten and her spirit now rests forever in this nest, inside Cal giving him strength to keep growing and to one day fly free with Lusa flying along side him as his wing-man. 💔 Thank you for watching!

Clive is the resident male & has been around since 2021. His age is unknown. Last season, Connie laid two eggs but only one hatched - CE9 (Connick). Connick began to lose flight feathers and then on April 4th 2023 fell from the nest. He was rescued by CROW & taken to Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. After months of evaluation and treatments, Connick continued to drop feathers and has been named non releasable. He will be transferred to the National Zoo early next year and live out his live as an ambassador bald eagle. Location: The nest is located on Captiva Island off the coast of Fort Myers Florida. After Hurricane Ian destroyed the nest in 2022, Window to Wildlife built a new nest in the same tree and Connie and Clive returned to use the nest.
