Jūras ērglis ~ Eagle Kills Baby Hawklet In Nest! WARNING Viewer Discretion Advised Graphic! 5.18.20

Disclaimer: The video contains graphic live footage of an eagle killing a live baby hawklet. Viewer discretion is advised.
The baby hawklet that was brought in this morning by the male Raimis, remained on the nest - standing up, walking around, wingercising and even laying next to the two eaglets. The female white-tailed eagle, Milda comes to the nest with a stick and she immediately realizes that something is different as she looks at the hawklet. She then will kill the hawklet and feed it to her eaglets in a very tragic turn of events. Nature can be cruel to watch at times.

[@jasonpatterson8091]

Apparently eagles will take chicks from hawk nests fairly regularly. If they survive being carried back to the eagle's nest, they often immediately begin begging for food when they are released. The adults' parenting instincts are so strong that they can then raise the hawk chick along with their own. They can even fledge occasionally and it results in some weird behaviors, like red-tailed hawks that eat fish and the like.

[@user-il4mh4fz4j]

This remembers me of parasitoid birds, it's kinda similar to what you say, bit it's not the same.

Red-tailed hawks eating fish is not weird. They're opportunistic and will eat anything. Just because they have a preference for mammals doesn't mean that if they eat something else that there has to be an explanation for it.

The parent eagles return to the nest after 2 hours and 11 minutes, one with a frog and the other later with what looks like a mole. The father eagle flies in the same direction the hawk headed as though heading to the hawk's best to teach it a lesson. That picking was quick and precise.

[@rushbcykablyat1792]

Hmm...but even this act of pointing out any mistakes, not to refine truth but to make others feel wrong about what they've said, is a proof that aggression, war and conflict is designed into nature itself, lol. And human beings are part of nature. This superiority/inferiority(right/wrong) dynamics, forced onto us all by our aggressive animal nature. (I mean, I know altruism also exist in nature of course. But what about the tons of selfishness and aggression designed into nature too? Why design living thing to attack and consume each another? And will human beings treat one another differently and with more love and unity, if conflict is not designed into our primal animal instincts? So that people have no more instincts to attack nor defend, or make each other feel wrong/bad about themselves, etc? These are the question I've always wanted to ask.)

I understand and share all the sentiments expressed by people here and yet it feels we are projecting our human natures and feelings ( as touching as they are) onto the birds. Its as if we are expecting the eagles to behave like us - thats again repeating the domination of nature by humans. The eaglets were taught an important lesson about killing and eating live prey -thats their world ( not ours ). To me the point of watching nest cam is to understand the eagles from their own perspective and their world.

[@piranhaplantX]

Also, from the parent's perspective. If they recognize something in their nest as not one of their own. It's their job to eliminate it before it harms their kids. Aside from that, it's also a drain on their resources while alive, and an easy source of food. So they have every reason to kill the hawklet, and it's better than letting it die slowly due to starvation.

[@upakaosnjim]

Sometimes a hawklet's self-preservation instinct is so strong that it prevails its fear and a hawklet starts begging for food when an eagle (usually mom) starts feeding its chicks. Mom's urge/instinct to feed a chick is so strong, that it'll start feeding anything that begs for food and that's how sometimes hawklets are being raised by eagles. Every single one of them was brought to the eagle nest as a potential meal, and some of them were just lucky and strong enough to prevail, as I said before, their fear and start simply begging for food. It's all instinctive and yes, it's all evolutionary conditioned.

So one of the adult eagles brought a hawklet to the nest as prey which was kept alive at first but later killed by the female eagle. And before that one of the three eaglets of this nest was killed by mostly the female because it was too small (due to food shortage). And into another eagles nest a crowlet was taken as prey but then left alive and it died days later of starvation. Did I get it right? Btw can someone explain to me how the hawk population has the slightest chance of survival if bigger raptors are emptying the hawks nests constantly (like the adults of this eagles nest seem to do)? I used to think that different kind of raptors would not hunt each other under most circumstances but was obviously wrong 😦

[@austinpowers8550]

@kata Na I'm surprised any birds survive. They're all dicks. They're cannibals from the day they hatch which is extremely counter productive. Since nature always finds a way and adapts you would think after millions of years birds wouldn't lay more than 2 eggs just in case there is a food shortage. The only reason laying 2 would be beneficial is just for insurance purposes in case one doesn't hatch or it dies. If I saw something like this happening even if it were small birds I would have a hard time not stepping in.

[@timm2824]

@@austinpowers8550 You need to stop attaching human emotions to animals. They are simply surviving and having two eggs isn't redundant at all. It a very beneficial food source for the bigger chick. Look at the booby bird species. Every year they lay the first egg weeks before the second to ensure one is bigger. The second is to feed the first or in a worst case scenario if the first dies they have a back up. But it's merely one extra food source to ensure that the dominant chick survives. It's brutal but so is life.

[@buckfutter99]

If this eagle pair finds it easier raiding raptor nests for soft chicks they then will do so.

[@pantherzone2008]

It depends on how you define “survival”. If hawklet came to the nest by the mother eagle and kept it alive for short while, then the chance of survival is slim for the hawklet due to differences of eagle and Hawk. In some cases, eagle would bring some others just to raise its meat before feeding the eaglets, so the dominant one outweighs the weak ones. Again, it depends on how you define “survival”.

[@xune2316]

How did the hawklet get in the nest in the first place ?

[@mystictraveler8022]

I often watch videos of various birds nesting. And while doing so, it became apparent quite early on that there is a war raging around us where upon predatory birds are often seen to be stealing small chicks and feeding them to their own young. They will often keep coming back until they have taken every chick leaving the nest empty. In this case. the hawklet seems to be somehow staying alive in the nest and then with no warning is set upon by the female eagle and killed. I personally do not believe the adult eagle was capable of seeing the young hawk as a foreign bird, (at this age anyway). In the beginning, the young hawk chick would just appear to be another baby eaglet. But as the other two genuine eaglets grew much bigger, the hawk chick would begin to look like a runt or a very sick eaglet chick. It is common in nature for parent birds or animals to eliminate "defective" young. Which is what I believe happened in this case. Just sayin...

[@rafabuda0]

Could also be parasitic egg-laying. A hawk laid her egg in the eagle's nest to trick the eagles into raising it. Like you said, the eagle maybe didn't even realize it wasn't one of hers, just thought it was a runt.

[@romel420]

Not at all the case. Eagles will often bring live prey to their growing young so that they will learn to kill prey and feed themselves. The hawklet was very likely stolen from a nest and brought to the eagle nest and left there as live prey for her young to learn to kill and eat. Since the eagles were probably a little too young and not ready for that lesson, they were more likely confused as to what to do, and when the mother eagle returned (probably after hunting for herself) and saw that the hawklet was still alive...decided to take matters into her own hands (claws?) once again. 😆

How did this baby hawk end up in the eagle's nest? Did the eagle snatch it from the hawk parents?

[@TimHammett1964]

The description states the male brought him into the nest that day and left him there. Then the female showed up she realizes that something is different as she looks at the hawklet and killed it and fed it to her babies.

[@christinasnow61]

Sometimes eagles accept a baby Hawk and feed them along with their eaglets. This may be the actual norm though.

[@dougross8789]

@@TimHammett1964 I think the parents bring the live victims so the eaglets start to learn their prey is was live. You'll notice the eaglets don't even know to pick up food that is dropped. The parents must beak feed to a certain age?

[@molene859]

Thank you Lady Hawk for the video. To be precise : The 3rd eagle of the nest, named "Terzo" was very brave but the fight was too uneven. After several days of violent and unbearable aggression by the elders (or one of them, difficult to differentiate them) and often deprived of food, Terzo was pushed to the edge of the nest by one of the elders Sunday morning. Ramis went up Terzo towards the nest but was not at the end. Milda did not seem approved. Ramis released Terzo who then fell from the nest. To my knowledge, Terzo did not serve food for the other 2 little eagles. However, there is a lack of fish and birds from nearby nests have been brought in since Saturday evening. I can no longer watch the live (but I think it is necessary to also show this facet of nature), this nest is hard. I read the summary on a forum. And I watch Romy who is always with us! 😀 Sorry for my english (GT).

[@ladyhawk]

Thank you I did not watch it live and did not watch any videos of the brutal attacks. I thought Dad got Terzo back into the nest I did not know he dropped him back down. Just horrible past few days for this eagle nest.

Could domesticated animals have made the choice to have people protect them rather than being subject to the depredations of the wild. For some it ends in death anyway but it should be quick. Their treatment before harvest is another aspect that should be considered.

Was wondering how it got there. Maybe the male thought he’d killed it and didn’t realize it wasn’t dead. How did the male get the hawklet without one of the hawk parents try to fight him off though. Poor hawk parents that lost their baby that day :(

[@TimHammett1964]

They were probably out hunting and left him alone. Came back and found him gone.

[@rafabuda0]

Most likely a parasitic egg-laying. Hawk mama laid the egg on the eagle's nest so that the eagles would be tricked into raising the hawkling. Didn't work this time.

[@SATXchica]

Rafael no, the male eagle brought it in after stealing it from a hawk nest. But he didn't kill it, he let it live and then flew away. Later the female eagle arrived & killed it. She uploaded a different video of the male eagle flying in with the baby hawk.

Sorry can you explain to me, was that her baby or was it food she bought for her eaglets? How did the hawlet get there in the first place? I’m confused.

[@ladyhawk]

Hi Chaplin Dad eagle brought the hawklet in as prey but then left him alone on the nest for quite for some time!! The hawklet was preening and wingercising and we were hopeful that he would be fed like the other eaglets and grow up and fledge. We have seen a hawklet survive in several nests in the US in bald eagle nests and raised and fed. But here unfortunately when Mom - Milda came to the nest she saw something was different and she immediately killed the hawklet.

[@De.D1]

Was the baby hawk confused, in the wrong nest? Looks like it was trying to keep warm.😥

[@barbararohl3299]

there was video years back of an eagle nesting and while incubating its eagle eggs a huge hawk made a very fatal error when it underestimated the size and power of the egg sitter...and zoomed down for the attack. the hawk was immediately dispatched and shredded itself, sort of poetic justice.... no doubt its remains were a bonus.... feed for the eagle parent and its offspring after hatching.

How did the baby hawk get into their nest?

[@dinok9647]

Hi lady Hawk. I thought the third eaglet in this nest was pushed to the rails by the other two eaglets, then dragged back in by a parent and then ended up falling off the nest a second time to the ground. The nest where the third eaglet died and was fed to the other two was the Notre Dame Indiana nest. I could be confused following all these nests but I think I have it right.

[@ladyhawk]

It was pushed to the edge but I did not watch. I thought Dad brought it back to the nest and fed to the other eaglets but I was thinking of ND nest. Sorry for the confusion it has been a very difficult and tragic past several days at the eagle nests.

[@dinok9647]

With all the nests you follow it is very easy to mix them up. I agree the last few days and some would say the whole season has been tough. Thank you for your great videos. They are excellent and your descriptions are right on the mark.

[@vtwinbuilder3129]

Ive heard that it isn’t all that uncommon for Eagles or other birds of prey to take eggs and incubate them with this scenario in mind. They “raise” them until they are needed as a food source and the ones that do tend up survive do so because food is so plentiful that the parents don’t mind feeding them and of course there is no need to kill and consume the alien species to the nest in that case. It’s sad but these birds are largely food driven and for better or worse they tend to take care of their eaglets.

[@vtwinbuilder3129]

I’m happy to provide sources that do prove Eagles steal eggs and take them back to their nests and also that they will in fact hatch and raise dissimilar species as a food source for their own eaglets. If you read the first story there were originally two hawks, one of which didn’t survive. What do you think happened to that hawk? The definitely didn’t give it a funeral and bury it. The second hawk only made it because food sources were plentiful enough that it didn’t get eaten as well. That’s how this works.

For the ppl who don't know how this can happen or why? This is mainly to fish lack, since fishes are their principal food source, Eagles starts to steal other Eagles chicks from nests or any other nest near, even Owls do this, there's a lot of videos of Owls hunting chicks of other Raptors. Parents also are able to kill the most young one for bring food to the others if there's a high lack of food around
