The yearling flew into some out of date electrical wires, as it happened in super rural Iowa.
One of the raptor centers already did recon and found a bunch of poles in the area that need updating and sent a presentation to the power company, and I guess they are pretty good about fixing them (as long as someone asks them too...) When they're dangerous like that, they're dangerous for anyone. A kid flying a kite or climbing the pole or a nearby tree could get fried up just as easily.
The little baby just passed because of nature... someone thinks they saw one of the parents accidentally land on it... either way the other two now have a much higher chance of survival. Last year all three fledged but now they are all deceased.
As you can see the drama can definitely be engaging. These little cam birdies definitely get a lot of love and light from people all over the world, and I see people having cathartic emotional experiences living vicariously through their trials. It's so fascinating!
