10:44 pm Checking the nest again to see if Spirit came down. Stayed in the attic. Spirit is very ready to fledge. Flying all over the nest. From the stump to the attic and landing with perfection. Was really hoping the Talon and Spirit would fledge together because these two were very close and got along well.

Spirit I hope you will be with Talon soon. Soar the skies, eat well of fish from the river, live a long wonderful eagle life. Be well little ones and enjoy the journey.
