My thoughts exactly Trisha! I have observed the same behavior. The eaglet is all over the nest. I have come to the comclusion that the East side of the nest must not be as deep, or is at least build up more inside, as when the eaglet goes to that side of the nest it is always higher in the nest and MUCH more visible.
Darned if that side of the nest isn't nearly always more hidden from camera biew by the pine needles from branches hanging down from above of from the side. I'll bet I had 60 photos from yesterday alone that demonstrated the eaglet almost completey exposed at or even above the rim of the nest, flapping its wings and throwing back its head and looking both east and west, but all were so superimposed with pine needles that they were either blurred or just covered up. UGGH!
Still a ton of fun to watch it all happening through the lens of the camera, even when the images are not of a quality I find acceptable.
