After that visit, I was only able to check this nest once, in late May. On that quick visit I saw an adult eagle nearby and that eagle was clearly unhappy with my presence so I made myself scarce without any other evidence of what was in the nest.
Around June 16 I got a call from a neighbour. She was concerned because she wasn't hearing anything from the nest and hadn't seen any eaglets yet. At that point the eaglets had not been clearly audible from the ground for very long, but nevertheless I decided to go check as soon as I could.
The occasion came 2 days ago, on June 20. I went to my favourite viewing spot and saw a beautiful eaglet standing tall!
One of the adults was perched right by the nest. This time they didn't seem nervous like they'd been last time. Still, I only stayed long enough for a few quick photos.
This nest usually has twins; last year I didn't see the second eaglet until both were branching. So there could still be some surprises at this nest.
