I visited the nest this afternoon around 3:00 - 3:45 and only saw the male, perched just above and to the right of the nest, barely visible throught the branches. I scrutinized the surrounding trees from several perspectives and saw no sign of the eaglet or other adult. The March 29th sighting was never confirmed by photos, and photos were not forthcoming. Even a bad shot could confirm the identity of the eaglet.
It was described as flying over the nest and with the sun behind it. There have been many vultures flying around the nest and under the poor lighting conditions as described it would be reassuring if we had evidence that the bird was correctly identified. Please post any photos of the eaglet, no matter what the quality so that we can be sure.
Here are my two "best" shots of the male at the nest.
