Mary Lou and I visited the nest this morning at about 9:30 and watched for a half hour. All that time the female (Jewel) stood watch on the nest support branch to the right of the nest. Her mate was not in sight.

After about 10 minutes a single eaglet popped up its head:

The oldest eaglet hatched on or about February 5th, so it is now 19 days old:

He/she is the 17th eaglet documented to have hatched in this nest, and will be called P Piney 17 until we are certain how many eaglets are viable and expected to fledge:
Please keep a close eye out for the presence of additional eaglets and report here (with photos if you so desire)
