At least one eaglet was still being fed by the adults at the nest at the end of October, when s/he was 25 weeks old. We haven't seen both together since early September, but some observers think it was not always the same chick that was seen in October.

eagle seemed to be "in labor" for a long time with the first two eggs - don't know if that's a factor in their failure to hatch; 3rd egg laid overnight so we don't know how long she was in labor.

fledge may not have been intentional - someone saw him caught by a gust of wind - but he'd been doing a lot of flying back and forth across the nest, so was probably close. He returned around 11 am the next day.
