Last year the Eagles fledged two chicks. Just before the chicks were ready to fledge a storm broke one of the branches that the nest was built upon, And Most of the nest fell, but the chicks were just a few days from being able to fly and therefore they did well.
This year the nest was bolstered and reconstructed by the adults last fall, and further added to this spring. The nest is looking very well now. Today was the first day that I saw both adults in the nest.
When I got there at noon today both adults were sitting in the nest, And subsequently they each left separately and reconvened in a nearby tree on the same branch. After sitting there for a while they each left separately. They were both gone for about a half an hour, when one returned with a small rodent that it placed in the nest and flew away. From this behavior I surmise that they have yet to lay any eggs.
