I was able to check the nest site late Friday afternoon. I believe it is safe to say all three of the eaglets have fledged. I spotted one still in the nest tree (see picture below) but another one was in a tree about 75 to 100 yards west of the nest tree (see other picture). I was not able to spot the third, but I am confident he/she was nearby and keeping an eye on me. One of the parrents circled above at one point riding the wind. I also had an eggret or a heron and a pelican cruize right above me while I was there.
We are looking at options for the camera and perhaps a second camera for next year. We are also looking at a t-shirt to commemorate this year's group of "kids". Keep an eye on this site for more announcements.
Wonderful, such a pleasure to watch -Thank you!
