"Openness to the natural world and our response to it lie at the core of what we do and why we do it." (Fr. Tom Pincelli)
> When I arrived at 4:15, Fernando was the only watcher there.
>
> I saw an adult in the dead trees to the west and both chicks were
> standing on the nest. They were wet as there was drizzling rain at
> the time.
>
> The clouds were scary looking and there was some thunder. I decided
> to spend a little time in the car until the threat of lightning
> lessened a bit. It about 25 minutes until the sky cleared up.
>
> Later, when dried up a bit, the eaglets did a little jumping sideways
> and flapping, but not much.
>
> An adult flew to the nest at 5:50, but appeared to deliver nothing and
> it flew away after about 15 seconds. After it left, the chicks did
> not lower their heads or appear to be eating anything.
>
> To my surprise, there WAS a feeding at 7:10. I have not seen one that
> late in quite a while. One of the chicks (probably Justin) stood
> aside and stared into the distance while the other one chowed down. I
> couldn't see that Justin was even trying to get the food away from the
> other chick.
>
> When I left, other watchers observed both adults in the dead trees to
> the west at the same time, so all four were seen at the end of the day.
