Morning LW

Judy sure looks like they have fledged~~so hard to tell~~wish we had ground crew providing reports on this nest !!

817 am One of our juvies is perched

847 am Nest empty

916 am Nest remains empty

924 am
One of our juvies is in the bowl~~
holding something in talons and
appears to be eating.

928 am
Juvie was not eating perhaps picking
at leftovers not sure.

Flew from nest bowl to Y branch or balcony
back to nest then branched or flew back
to balcony~~then branched to a branch off
the balcony on our left near 10 and just out of
our view; this branch has alot of leaves.

Perhaps this is our youngest juvie and is still
branching about and has not fledged yet just
a thought.

933 am
Nest is empty.

Think both our juvies have fledged as Mom is in the nest eating and there is on sign of our juvies

1014 am Mom appears to be eating in the nest


1013 am Mom looking all around


1013 am

I think you may be right, Debs! I was thinking one might have yesterday - I was only seeing one much of the time. No easy way to be sure, but as you say - food and not eaglets is usually a very good sign!

Hi Judy so exciting to see our juvies fledge

1016 am Mom tidys the nest

1017 amMom hops up to the Y


1022 am Mom still perched



1027 am
Mom is gone now.

Good morning, Lake Washington!

Thanks for the great pictures, Debs - looks as if Mom was there for at least 10 minutes without either of the fledglings (? ) showing up!

And I don't see anyone sleeping in the nest tonight -


Sherri from the Maine forum took a pic in the early hours yesterday that either showed one lying down and one perched, or both lying down with an adult perched nearby - so this is also a change.
