NOV 29-- No adults, one 2nd Year Immature seen

[NewMexiKen]

We visited the nest at about 7:45 AM this morning and watched until about 8:20 AM. No adult eagles in sight. Watched the nest for a half hour but never saw any evidence that it was occupied. An immature Bald Eagle early in its second year, flew in from the east and passed directly over the nest before disappearing to the northwest. There was no calling as might be expected if there was an adult in the vicinity. My guess is that it is one from this nest that fledged this spring.

This is very frustrating. I went also yesterday (Fri, 11/28 at 3:40p till about 4:15p) and then today (Sat, 11/29 at 12:55p till 1:15p). No eagles on nest. :(
I might have seen the immature eagle(s) that Ken mentioned today (some raptors flew high up, way past the nest), but I'm still novice at this to make the claim. My son thought they were vultures, but I honestly don't think so. We also saw a small raptor perched on top of one of the dead tree stumps just west of the main site. We didn't have the camera, only the binoculars. :(
