(not sure in which order)

at least two were seen on the PTZ cam on July 30, and one seen July 31, the day the cam was turned off; D1 (who has a transmitter) left the area August 15

not completely sure what happened, but there was a bad storm shortly after the eggs were laid, and the female was away for a couple of days; when she returned she didn't resume incubating, and the nest was eventually left untended, and subsequently failed. Maybe next year....

adults Franklin (M) and Independence (F)
(both non-releasable)

The first egg spent several weeks in an incubator after being removed for safekeeping when there were tornadoes in the area; perhaps that's why it hatched faster than the other two.

#1 to hacking tower June 6 with two other eaglets about the same age (38 days old); #2 and #3 to tower June 15 (41 & 40 days old)

Banded April 21, youngest to oldest:
Eaglet banded "NV" is male, at 5.75 lbs. (35 days)
Eaglet banded "NX" is female, at 6.78 lbs. (37 days)
Eaglet banded "NZ" is female, at 7.5 lbs. (39 days)

The female of the Norfolk pair was killed in a collision with an airplane on April 26; it was felt that the male would not be able to both protect and feed the three eaglets on his own, so they were moved to the Wildlife Center of Virginia to be raised for release

All 3 released July 27;
NX fitted for transmitter just before release; failed to gain altitude and returned to WCV to recover; also missing some feathers from left wing

still visiting occasionally

adults Liberty (M) and Belle (F)

it appears that a new male replaced Liberty;
the body of an adult eagle was found
on the grounds in the area of the nest,
and observers agreed that another
male would not have been able to
approach the nest and newly hatched
chick without first killing or driving off
the resident male Liberty.

By fall, Belle and the new male
appeared to be a pair.
