This morning I discovered one eaglet a few trees over from the nest, on the branch where the parents often sit. His/Her sibling was still hanging out at the nest. I imagine both are flying quite a bit now. Click on pictures to enlarge.
The last time we visited this nest, we thought they were down to two eaglets. I was pleasantly surprised to discover last week that there are indeed triplets. Click on picture to enlarge.
They certainly are growing fast! It’s great to see one branching. Click on picture to enlarge.
We checked in on several nests today and wandered around the state park for a while. Parents incubating and feeding everywhere. Lovely day! Click on pictures to enlarge.
After some pretty incredible storms, I was happy to see everyone here OK. Click on picture to enlarge.
When I visited the nest this morning, there was a juvenile eagle on a tree nearby. One of the parents was calling out and seemed very disturbed. I assumed he/she was calling for the other to come and run off the intruder. I didn’t see the eaglet and was a bit worried. I hoped she/he was keeping his/her head down in case of trouble (I’ve seen the young ones do this when the parents seem agitated). So, we went back later this afternoon. Not only was everything fine, we discovered there are two eaglets in the nest! Click on pictures to enlarge.
We still can’t see much of him/her, but we saw a little wing action today. Click on picture to enlarge.

Spring is all around us today. The cormorants and pelicans are back and there is a lot of incubating going on. Click on pictures to enlarge.
Rain this morning, then beautiful, big sky. Click on picture to enlarge.
