Saturday mid-morning (5-9-09)

Around 10:30 am (5-9-09) one of the adults was in a tall Australian Pine west of the nest.  It may have just flown in with food at the nest but I did not witness that.  The adult flew off shortly there-after and rode a thermal straight up from the nest site.  At an elevation above 500', I witnessed another 'harassment attack' (possibly a mockingbird?).  The eagle twisted & turned and out-flew the 'attack' & continued riding the thermal straight up until it disappeared from my site.  Meanwhile, the two eaglets where (low) in the nest apparently finishing a meal.  Shortly before 11am, the eaglets flew off (did not witness).
