(WBAY) &#8211; In an update to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbay.com\/2026\/05\/22\/volunteers-work-save-eaglets-after-nest-destroyed-two-rivers-storm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wbay.com\/2026\/05\/22\/volunteers-work-save-eaglets-after-nest-destroyed-two-rivers-storm\/\">previous story<\/a>, Wildlife of Wisconsin says the eagle parents of two eaglets have accepted their new man-made nest. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">A weekend storm in Two Rivers toppled a tree holding the original bald eagle nest, killing one eaglet and leaving two others cold, wet and in need of help, wildlife rehabilitators said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Wildlife of Wisconsin, a grassroots rehabilitation group based in Manitowoc County, responded after landowners and local eagle watchers found the nest on the ground and began searching through the debris.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The surviving eaglets were taken to the group\u2019s facility for an initial exam. Wildlife of Wisconsin then contacted its veterinarian partner at Memorial Drive Veterinary Clinic for further evaluation, including X-rays.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">One eaglet was found to be healthy, while the other had a broken pelvis and likely a cracked rib. The injured bird\u2019s breathing has improved as it heals, and rehabilitators are weighing how soon it can be returned to the nest area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">With the original nest destroyed, the next challenge was whether the adult eagles would accept a replacement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Working with guidance from The Raptor Center in Minnesota, landowners built a new platform nest near the original site. One eaglet has now been placed in that reconstructed nest while volunteers and rehabilitators watch for signs the parents will resume feeding and caring for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">In a new Facebook post on Saturday, Wildlife of Wisconsin says the parent eagles have accepted the nest and are now caring for the eaglets. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The eaglet suffering a pelvic fracture is also doing well and is expected to be reunited to the nest toward the end of the week.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 WBAY.
