Thanks for the update.
-
probably going to fledge any day now - - mom and dad are leaving Spirit alone for much of the day these days
-
Final update - - at shortly after 5:49 this morning 5/31 Spirit fledged and left the nest. if you would like to watch it you can go to either of the cameras and rewind and watch her take flight for the first time.
personally I thought the wide angle view was fantastic to see - such majestic creatures
edit to add screen grab

I guess I'm not completely done
this afternoon at 16:43 Dad brought a fish back to the nest and about 3 minutes later Spirit returned to the nest wanting some of that fish - they say Spirit might keep coming back for food just so long as mom and dad keep providing it - apparently Juvenal eagles like Spirt will scavange food from other birds and animals for a long time until they learn to catch their own
-
Even the animals can't keep their offspring from returning home and looking for a free meal. I don't feel so bad now.

Yep typical teenager - - off doing God knows what all day and then coming home for the free food - - if eagles had laundry Spirit would probably be coming back for years
On a more interesting note I was reading yesterday in the blogs associated with the eagle cam page that at around 6 months of age Spirt will leave the area completely and if by some chance she tries to return to the area after that her parents will treat her as an intruder and chase her off
Something as parents worth thinking about you think??

lol. I warn mine every time they come after curfew I'm treating them as an intruder so I'm on board with that.

I dont know if it will be weekly, but if they get an egg or two to hatch I'm sure I will post something. I figure I can't be the only one who thinks is very cool and also something more positive than the politics thread
