Both Eaglets in the Nest Tree Sat AM

[KellyHeffernan Proj Perch]

To the Eagle Forum -

There was a confirmed sighting of both eaglets in the nest tree this
morning, Saturday.  One eaglet was in the nest and one was on a branch
above the nest.  Pictures were taken and can be provided to Ken for
confirmation.

Thanks - Kelly
