Not a great shot, but I finally see both eaglets and they are starting to branch. This is where they are confident enough to get up off the nest and start stretching legs, wings and talons. This is the beginning of flight. I really wasn't sure if there were two. There have been a pair of eaglets for the past 8 years or so. This is a tribute to the health of the parents. This morning there were 2 other raptors circling the nest. They were in silhouette and I couldn't recognize them. This made me think that something was amiss with the eagle family. They were getting close, then look! Up in the sky. Is it a bird, a plane, no it's mama/papa eagle charging into the midst of the alien raptors. They hightailed it out of there and the adult alighted above the nest. Nice little show.
