I returned to our nest here on July 26 after our local Fledgefest lunch with other eagle enthusiasts. The campers we had met previously on lot 17 shared that the nest was active with adults flying in and out a couple of weeks ago and that movement had been noticed in the nest. Lo and behold first sighting of an eaglet here for me was this lovely one branched almost to the top of the very tall Douglas Fir. It sported a good crop. Sorry for the dark photo as the treed area up there is quite dark. :D I'm very glad I hadn't given up on spotting one here. :thumlft:

I'm glad you saw this post Heather as the eaglet was still not making itself known visually when we visited. I returned yesterday, could hear the eaglet calling in or near the nest tree but could not find it from the campground, from Marmot Rd nor from the Burnett Spit.
