Media notes
Just before noon, parent left nest and flew to perch on nearby snag.
Observation details
Eaglet still hasn’t fledged. When I arrived, one of the parents was on the nest with it. Just before noon, the adult flew and landed on top of a nearby snag. It was still in that spot when I left three hours later at 1500! What a patient parent. Very briefly saw other parent flying high. Eaglet had several sessions of very strong wing beats and even some bouncing in the nest; kept thinking it was time to fly but didn't. This was my 5th visit here, 4th time for potential flight, but it looks like I will miss it.
