I just now happened to catch the operator panning the camera. There is one eaglet left on a branch and the nest is empty. I assume the other two have fledged.

I remember my first yr watching the Sydney nest. There were two eaglets and the oldest one was relentless in pecking at the youngest. Despite the nasty sibling rivalry, the youngest managed to get enough to eat and thrived. I absolutely fell in love with those birds that spring. My only regret is not knowing what ever happened to them, but unlike a lot of other places, they don't band the birds from Sydney.

Just looked again, and one of the other eaglets was there. The two of them are shaking their heads a lot. I wonder if it's because there are a lot of flies? I've never seen eaglets shake their heads so much.
