Hi all,
I asked permission from the homeowner to photograph the eagles. Having =
nested there for 3 years, the eagles were accustomed to people moving =
about in the yard as they go about their nesting duties. I took video =
clips once or twice a week from May 11 to July 14.  Only one of two =
nestlings survived to fledge. Not an uncommon outcome for eagle chicks. =
One estimate is that 40% don't survive their first flight.  Both =
survived Tropical Storm Arthur however.
The video is on my YouYube site bellow:
