The Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife said Ozzie died Tuesday night of complications from injuries. He was found in a backyard Sunday unable to fly. Veterinarians said he was covered with lacerations and had a broken toe in each foot.
The eagle was also badly injured in March, possibly by a car. During rehabilitation, his webcam got 200,000 hits a day. The News Press of Fort Myers reported that Ozzie also was photographed fighting with another male eagle in September.

Ozzie and his mate, Harriet, received almost 40 million views via webcam during the last few nesting seasons thanks to a camera mounted above their nest in southwest Florida. Viewers mourned when one of two chicks died in the nest in 2013.
