At the nest today: May 4, 2016, 11:45am - 12:15pm

I was at the nest today from 11:45 a.m. to about 12:20 p.m.  At first, there was no sign of anything in or around the nest, very quiet.  Then, the 1 eaglet popped his head up - facing to the north / west.  He was up for a while, flapping his wings.  He turned directly towards me, north.  He then turned around and was facing south / east for a while.  He then turned back around and was to the west / north again; a lot of activity, but just a little wing-flapping.

Has anyone actually see 2 eaglets lately?  Because, this one seems pretty big - and I would think that the other one would be visible by now.  But, there was no sign at all of a 2nd eaglet.  I stayed about 1/2 an hour and this eaglet was all that I saw.  He seems healthy and active!  I took MANY photos and examined every single one for evidence of another baby in the nest, but there wasn't.  I'm not saying there isn't, I just wonder if anybody else has seen two side-by-side.  I hope there are still 2.

There were a lot of large birds flying overhead, but, again, I didn't see the adult eagles at all.
