"Unfortunately, AZGFD doesn't have much more to add than you all have already seen. To date, they have lost the first two eggs that they have laid in the nest, meaning that at the moment there is nothing tying them to the nest. All is not lost however, since bald eagles frequently lay between 1 - 3 eggs per clutch (sometimes as many as 4), and if one clutch fails they can double clutch before the season is over. So we are guardedly optimistic that they may still produce another egg or so and resume their nesting activities before the season is over. We won't declare the season a wash for this pair until the end of March; so there is still time."

"AZGFD is just as disappointed and excited for the rollercoaster this nest has experienced this nesting season. This truly is wildlife at its finest! While it's likely there isn't a viable egg in the nest, our nest watchers on the ground report that the birds are still in the area. Our fingers are crossed to learn whether the female still has additional eggs to lay. In the meantime, thanks for coming along with us on the ride!"

February 21, 2019 - Third egg laid @ around 3:30pm EST (eventually destroyed by intruders)
February 24, 2019 - Fourth egg laid
April 2, 2019 - Egg appears to be cracked, possibly a pip...but seems non-viable. Jill, the female egale, eventually consumes part of the egg
“On Tuesday, April 2nd, 37 days after having laid a single egg for the fourth time since Jan. 21, the female eagle, perhaps sensing an abnormality, chose to destroy the egg. So, any hope of these eagles producing a hatchling will have to wait at least another year.” - AZGFD
