The nest was empty again this morning.
After spending so much time following this eagle family, I headed out to see if I could find the juveniles and make sure they were doing okay. I was relieved to find one of them nearby with Mom. Over the last few days, it looked like she was teaching the young eagle how to hunt, and this morning they were perched above a pond, possibly working on the next lesson—how to fish.
I only found one juvenile today, and I'm still hoping the second youngster is nearby and doing well too.
It's amazing to watch these young eagles take their first steps toward independence. The nest may be empty, but their story is far from over.
