Friday 9:00am to 10:00am 4/16/10

I arrived to see one eaglet on the nest and then noticed there was another slightly above the nest behind a large clump of Australian Pine needles. Within 10 minutes or so, the third eaglet flew in from the southwest and made a clumsy landing on a spot about 10 feet above the nest.

All the while, one of the parents (mom I believe - did not notice brown tip) sat out on the eastern Australian Pine near the roadway.

Around 9:25am, the other parent made a food drop and then joined his mate at the pine tree. At 9:45am this same parent flew off to the north.

Below are several photos:
