The bald eagle that went viral for incubating a rock like it was offspring, has died after the intense damaging storms there.
He was 33.
Had you heard about this bald eagle Murphy?
Have you ever seen the bald eagle?
We have them often here in the skies above.

I hadn't heard of him, no. We have the world center here and I have seen eagles, falcons, owls and a vulture. They are well taken care of and I wish I could make it there again. 33 is a good age for the dear fellow.

@akalinus The condor is our national bird. It lives in the Andes mountains. But during the pandemia it was even seen near the city where I live. People took pictures of condors grabing the meat they were thawing for a barbecue. I applauded the condors. We have taken their habitat.

I saw several of them years ago at the zoo. They'd been injured in various ways and couldn't fly anymore. They were at the zoo being treated for their injuries.
We used to see a pair of them when I was growing up on the farm. They roosted in a tree in the neighbor's field.

Ohh that's sad. But he was 33 so I guess he had lived a full life. Farewell Murphy. RIP.
