The good news is Brutus and Lil Guy still have a home. The nest is holding. They have been fed. They cant lounge or rest spread out in the nest bed but both seem to be doing okay with spending the day branching. Lil Guy should fledge in the next day or so.

The bittersweet news is the eaglets Liberty and Justice seem to have left the area. They fledged a month ago but stuck close to home for meals, rest, and sleep.

They havent been seen since yesterday am. Parents were still bringing food by, tidying up, and spent the night in the nest tree but no sign of their offspring. Not even the parents have been around today.

This nest has been a pleasure to watch. The parents are super providers and protective caretakers. As a result, their offspring reach milestones together, have few episodes of drama, and bond deeply.

Another job well done parents!

And for L and J.....goodspeed lil buddies. You did everything together, including leave together on your new journey. Hopefully your bond will continue and will help you both during the toughest upcoming year of your life. 50% of eaglets do not survive the first year.
