Oh Karen, your viewing the eaglet is perfect. I am glad you are onboard to help with the viewing of this nest. Our eaglets sure cooperate with your visits! Yes, seeing the youngster flying around is so much better than assuming it's fledged! Thank you!

I love the side by side photo. The one on the right must have gotten wet, drying its wings.

You are getting some wonderful shots of a nest difficult to capture Karen. Kudos!

Wow! I love your photos of wingsercising Marg! Well caught!

Great to see our baby Karen. Thank you! And for sharing that you got more rain! Hopefully the Coast is not as dry these days.

Wow Karen, you got excellent pictures considering how difficult it is to get any of this nest. Your last one is worthwhile despite the plastic because of eaglet framed and looking right at you. I love it! I agree though, too bad the frame is plastic.

I am so glad you have been able to follow this nest so well Heather. It is sad to lose most of the nest, but it sounds like these 2 will flourish. Thank you for all the great pics as well as commentary!

I love how you seem so connected to these 2 eaglets Christine. Awesome you saw a fledge as well as followup behaviour in learning how to fly, land, control the flight path. All the fun stuff. Thank you for the pictures and for the marvellous sharing of information here.

Thanks Karen! We have one doing what we want them to do. Hard to say if we will suddenly see 2 or if something has happened to the other. I've heard nothing.

These eaglets are quite cooperative with you lately! Great shots and description of what is going on.

Thank you for the update Karen! We have to be thankful for the rain and not mind it prevented you from taking pics.

According to Holly there has been a fledge here. Around mid June I believe. Early again this year!

You have such an incredible photo documentation of the eaglets here Heather! Well done and thank you!

Someone else who I met at this nest has let me know the eagles are taking in sticks. Great news with good intent for next nesting season.

Looks to me like the eaglet was trying to hide behind the tree branch! Thank you for the update Karen! Glad you saw Junior!

Yep, 2 for sure! Well done Karen! Sorry I haven't been out to our nests much this season. Thank you for the sharing you are doing.

So appreciative of your ongoing reports and milestones by your eaglets Christine! Thank you for being there for us and for them.

It's always great to have a fledge Kay. I too hope eaglet #2 is OK.

What a wonderful visit you had! This is very exciting after the history of this nest the past few years.
And how kind of Hubbie to share one of his dream catchers with the young girl.

Good old Pa Lafarge! He's a winner.

Bottom middle.

On Tues June 18 only 1 eaglet was visible sitting up proudly at the edge of the nest. A nice big healthy looking bird.

I visited on June 18 and look what I found! I hadn't left the parking lot. Didn't see any eagles.

I was at the top of Porpoise Bay June 18, by the motel picnic table and decided to take a picture across the water of our nest tree area. Even though I haven't found an eagle when over there look who I found!

Really too bad about the plastic. I hate it in the nest. Great shot of the eaglet! Yay!

What a wonderful sight for you to witness after all your concerns.

If that mystery eagle really wants to impress Pa I suggest she deliver a gift of food to him. It can even be away from the nest.
Thank you for the reassurance Christine, albeit with some concern for Pa. Gotta love the guy.

Great timing again Karen! Your patience paid off. Thank you for the reassurance here.

Marvellous pictures Karen! I'm so glad you got to witness the wingsercising. I find it fascinating.

Thanks for this intriguing change of events! Lady or suitor? Does Pa feel comfortable enough to leave her with the kidlets while he must find food? Does she help deliver food to the nest? Looking forward to hearing how this plays out.
