I saw what I was pretty sure was an eagle the other day when an adult had just flown in to the nest where the TWO eaglets were waiting.  The unidentified flying object followed the adult up to the nest, circled awkwardly around in front of the nest and then continued its erratic flight off to the west.  At first I thought that it was a vulture, but its head was too prominent and its wing flapping not like I've seen before.  I think it may have been last year's fledgling, since this year's were both accounted for on the nest.
