Kent eaglets
Sherri's photo - July 8
(68 and 69 days old - almost 10 weeks)

At least one of these guys started branching big-time this week -
we've seen one up on the branch where the parent is in this pic.
Much of the branching has been by one eaglet (possibly the younger) -
but some of us think at least one set of pictures shows the other one checking it out.

Puget Sound, WA
hatched
April 26

Puget Sound eaglet
Shoebutton's photo - July 8
(73 days old - 10-1/2 weeks)

I think this shows the eaglet flapping off to her branching location
out of sight just past in the lower right corner of the screen smile

She's also been doing a lot of flapping, and is achieving some lift!

Sidney, BC

Fort St Vrain eaglets

(twelve weeks old)

The eaglets are spending a lot of time out of view of the cam,
though there's no way to tell if they are branching or if they've fledged.
If I see a formal announcement that they've fledged, or that there's a new development,
I'll post it - but otherwise, this is the final update for this nest.

Barton's Cove, MA
hatched
April 6
April 8 or 9

younger fledged

Barton's Cove eaglet

's photo - July 8
(13 weeks old)

The darker, older eaglet is doing a lot of branching,
but Sharon hasn't ever seen both of them away from the nest at the same time,
so there's no evidence that the older eaglet has fledged.

There are lots of wonderful closeups of the eaglets visiting the nest
on the Maine forum's Norfolk nest thread - please check it out!

Unless there's news other than that the eaglets are still visiting the nest
and they look about the same, this is the final update for the Norfolk nest.

Nest Update from Blackwater
07/07/07: " Due to our cam malfunction and the newly independent eaglets,
we've decided to end the season."

All images are the property of the cam from which they were taken and/or the person credited.
Thank you for letting me use the images for this compilation.
