Heather good to know that both eaglets are o.k Thanks for the pictures.

I'm hoping to get to see this nest this weekend. The tides haven't been very helpful the last 2 weeks.
But I'm hoping that everyone will be gone off by now. But you never know!

I visited the nest this morning and I was wrong in my previous post.... they are still around!
I saw 1 fledged juvenile perched away from the nest tree so s/he had definitely fledged. The juvenile was quite calm and quiet so I don't think s/he was hungry but definitely very curious spending a lot of time looking around and watching me. I was there for about 30 mins and didn't see or hear any adults or the other juvenile. I was about half way back down the beach when I heard an adult calling from behind me and turned round to see an adult fly in to a tree very near where I had seen the juvenile perched. My viewpoint was right into the sun so I couldn't see if it was a food drop but I did manage to get a few pics so when I upload something might be obvious.
Back at the beach entrance I saw an adult on the dead tree that the Brownings use a lot. After about 10 mins of me watching, that adult flew off towards the Browning nest so it could have been one of the Brownings. Or perhaps someone passing by?
Pics to follow!

So good you saw 1 fledgling! I hope the other was around, just not visible. Or perhaps off and away. Looking forward to your pics!

I am very sorry, but better late than never! At last, here are the final 3 pics from last season from my visit on Aug 7. One eaglet on a tree near the nest tree and then 1 adult that arrived as I was half way back down the beach.
So overall a successful season. Definitely one eaglet fledged and possibly two. Another nest collapse but again, Ma and Pa still managed to raise one or more eaglets.
