May 3  Eaglet flies.  They're still here!!!!

April 27  Saw two eaglets around 7.  This one turned

its head all kinds of ways looking at the smaller bird.

April 25, just before sunrise, we saw two of the adults and both eaglets.  Not long afterwards,

all flew out of sight.  The trees have so many leaves now, it was hard to tell

if the third adult was around in a nearby tree.

Also,  April 9 flight of first eaglet pictures on 2004-2005 Bald Eaglet page.  Both eaglets are now flying.

April 15 - All three adult eagles and both eaglets were seen at daybreak, but later in the day all had

flown away from the nest.  There seems to be longer and longer periods now when no bird is in

easy sight of the roadside parking area.  Same true on April 16.

April 18  Our old friend still guards a now empty nest. 

The eaglets came in later and chased her off with their awkward landing.
