A bald eagle chick has welcomed an “adoptive brother” into her nest after the little chick’s nest fell, injuring the bird and separating him from his parents.

On May 22, the Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota reached out to eagle expert Lori Naumann, to say they'd found a 3-week-old bald eagle in a fallen nest with no parents in sight. Ms. Naumann, who works in marketing and promotions for the Minnesota Nongame Wildlife Program, agreed to help relocate the chick.
