COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) \u2014 An eaglet named Star is in critical condition after falling from a bald eagle’s nest near Broadcast Lake in Grandview Heights.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred on Friday after the eaglet’s mother, Athena, also fell from the nest earlier that day, according to Ohio Division of Wildlife Manager Gary Comer Jr.<\/p>\n
Athena then left the area and has not returned to the nest.<\/p>\n
It is not clear what caused them to fall.<\/p>\n
Comer estimated the nest was situated 40 to 60 feet up in a tree.<\/p>\n
“Star was breathing shallow and had no energy,” Comer said.<\/p>\n
The eaglet was transported to the Ohio Wildlife Sanctuary in Mansfield, where Comer said the prognosis is poor.<\/p>\n
The father eagle, Apollo, was away hunting at the time of the incident but has since returned to the nest, Comer said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) \u2014 An eaglet named Star is in critical condition after falling from a bald eagle’s…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":116700,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[27],"tags":[3294,3324,30253,22281,73115,73116,73117,73118,159,67,132,68,837],"class_list":["post-116699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wildlife","tag-apollo","tag-athena","tag-bald-eagle","tag-critical-condition","tag-eaglet","tag-grandview-heights","tag-nest","tag-ohio-division-of-wildlife","tag-science","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-wildlife"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114967267544591796","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
