I don't know if he'll mourn in the human sense. But in my mind, he was all set to feed the eaglets and work with his mate and do what nature intended until the babies left the nest. He'd have to be confused and "lost" (I don't know a better word) for awhile. Then instinct will kick in and he'll go about his life. It still makes me feel sad.
I suppose his new mate will have her own nest and this nest may be abandoned. What a sad day. You are my hero for turning me on to that silly webcam Bare. I have had so many hours of enjoyment out of watching, sharing and talking about the eagles' nest. Thank you.
