8:15 am
Adult has left the perch beside the nest; I'm going to log into the CU cam quickly and move it so it shows the chicks.

Chicks are sleeping on the other side of the nest, and one of the adults is perched above them keeping watch. Crows are doing fly-bys.

Adult flew off at 8:19 am; chicks are sleeping.

Uni is 31 days old and Vic is 29 days old. Elfruler has compiled some wonderful information about eaglet development - please check it out - https://www.elfruler.com/?page_id=1610!

8:25 am
I am away from the computer.

Parent flew off side branch, crows followed shortly after, as far as I can tell lets are alone on the nest still, almost 30 minutes, big enough now that they are safe?
