MINNEAPOLIS -- A man deeply involved in the raptor project that led to the popular "eagle cam" in Decorah, Iowa, has reportedly died while helping neighbors in north Minneapolis clean up after Sunday's tornados.

A post on the Raptor Resource Project webpage Monday reported the death of Rob MacIntyre, President of the project....

1. Good grief

How sad

[lunatica]

2. I watch that eagle cam every day since the eaglets were hatched!

That's tragic. Any death not of natural causes is tragic.

7. Sounds like he did die of natural causes, though

Collapsed after helping clear a tree and couldn't be revived. The article doesn't say, but it sounds like a heart attack.

It doesn't make it any less sad, but perhaps not as tragic.

3. What a loss. My heart goes out to his family and those who worked with him.

He can now soar with the eagles. RIP!

4. I'm so sorry to read this

This has been a project very near and dear to my heart. I shared the link to the Decorah nest with an aunt I kinda lost touch with through the years. We've been in constant touch since then, sharing our great joy in watching the baby eagles grow over the past several weeks. Thank you Mr. MacIntyre for allowing us the opportunity and privilege of watching these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Your work has thrilled millions of people and you will be greatly missed. RIP.
