Trisha and I arrived at 6; Tom, Fernando and Smith were already there,and had seen a kid in the back of the dead trees. At about 6:50 Fernando saw movement in the pines just east of the dead trees, which is apparently when ?Justice? flew to the nest tree. He landed above the nest and sat there for about a half hour, calling out. Trisha and I were just leaving (everyone else had gone already), when he flew to the dead trees and landed in a very sloppy fashion very close to where we were parked. This was about 7:20. He kind of see-sawed, trying to steady himself, then flew much further back. Yes, Trisha again missed the shot of a lifetime! No camera ready, as we were all set to leave. Anyway, the poor boy sat there all alone, crying for someone to join him. It's sad to see him left behind so much now, after the 2 kids were so close. I really feel he's insecure and not ready to do it on his own yet. I sure hope the planned clearing gets postponed until ALL of the activity has stopped. All we need to do now is to further upset an already upset eagle chick. Any input/info on that subject?
