3. Famed Bald Eagle dies. The bird, known as Dad, was an estimated 14 or 15 years old, and had fathered 13 eaglets in the last five years, according to Rob Schwartz, who has led the organization that has monitored the pair. Dad received worldwide attention through the Bald Eagles of Centerport Facebook group. “No one knows why this eagle passed,” he said. “Over the last week to 10 days he was unable to keep his balance. He was having a hard time sticking landings, and no one had seen him fishing. He was so degraded.” (Huntington Now)
