Pricilla---I think it was a baby heron or some other wading bird.


New grass in the pantry for #3 to sleep on.

Parent is on the nest this morning. It seems early to leave them alone all night. I have to remember they are all a month old on Saturday.
This morning parent is at 9 and the lets are sleeping, preening, stretching their wings and hanging out in the nest.

2:14 The eaglets are on the nest alone. They have spent most of the last 2 nights alone on the nest. They are getting older but it seems toooo early for night time on the nest alone.

Youngest eaglet is getting a solo feeding. The oldest is getting more and more dark feathers. The nest bowl is disappearing and getting flattened.

Looks like the names Spirit, Faith and HOpe are favorites from the voting contest.

About the names----They are just OK to me. After 7 years of eaglet names I was really hoping for something other than the same type of names that everybody seems to pick for eaglets year after year. sigh sign.
