Excellent photo, Lil!
I will not be able to visit the nest for a few days and hope everyone keeps an eye on whether there may be a third eaglet. I now am thinking that if there is a third we should have seen it by now.
On March 4th I also saw two eaglets being fed. Also, an Osprey flew in and made passes over the female (Jewel) who was roosting atop a pine far down to the east near 208th Avenue. They called and screamed at each other but Jewel remained perched as the Osprey swooped down several times before disappearing to the south.
In a past season I saw an Osprey follow Pride right to the nest area. Pride was carrying a fish which I must presume he "stole" from the Osprey. Rather that lead the Osprey to the nest, he continued on with the Osprey in pursuit, but returned a few minutes with the fish but not the Osprey. I copied this image link from my Facebook page, the first time I have tried this.
