6:08 I am finally home. It is raining at the nest and one e is out of view on the "Y" branch. LOts of hovering and and big wings.







6:16 is still out on the y branch. It is one of the older chicks and most likely Faith.

What do you think??? From pics yesterday and just now I think a second e is branching on the "Y" branch.

Yesterday's brancher


Today's brancher


This one has been over to the rt and out of view several times. It has also turned around from facing nest to facing away from the nest.

7:31 One e was up on the "Y" branch.

7:56 They are all in the nest feeding at or near the feeding station.






8:23 They continue to eat with a lot of squeeeeing going on.

Some late s'caps from May 27th---

I decided to put branching pictures here from the last three days before my other s'caps. Donna. I may be wrong but the chest feather patterns on the branchers all look different to me. I wonder if we have had all three eaglets up there on that branch? The one from today looks smaller to me as thought it might be Spirit. What do you think?

The branching eaglet on May 27th



Not a very good shot of the branching eaglet on May 25th--Donna's are much better!!



The brancher from today, May 29th

I wonder if the nice juicy fish is a reward for branching?



Wind blown feathers--good stiff breeze blowing!



Maybe Spirit's wing???

More wings



Faith's huge wings!



Faith is feeling the wind in her wings

Brisk wind lifting those wings.



Faith is lifted right off the nest.



It won't be long now!!
