About a mile from the takeoff site. Not enough runway speed, most likely. A common cause of stall at low altitude.

Well, I would say that the speed and lift that allowed it to fly a mile or less wasn’t maintained.
My guess is the bird was near, at, or over gross weight. If so, not much room for other issues. Some folks can’t wait to raise the flaps from take off position to get movin. If the wings were ‘dirty’ (ice, wet snow that has frozen doesn’t blow off very easily), raising the flaps too soon could have been the difference between lift and stall.
