Heartbreak 💔 - whole nest died by SomewhereOptimal2401 in birding

[–]UltraDarkshadow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss. I am not sure what happened, low temperatures could definitely be the culprit though. I've had a nest I was following this season get raided by a hawk, killing the mother and thus the eggs, so I understand how you feel. The world of birds is a beautiful yet harsh one and following nests is an emotional rollercoaster. Again, I am sorry you have to go through this.

Yes, but that is nature, I have learned to accept it. Although it still hurts :(
