Phil Martin has been keeping a close watch on the nest. On APR 15 he wrote:

Ken,
I visited the nest at 08:30 and there was no activity. Within a couple minutes the Eaglet flew in from the north. Orbited the area of the nest, then landed on the nest.
 
At 13:00 the Eaglet was on the long branch to the east of the nest (it appears to be her favorite perch). She was sharpening her beak on the branch while perching.
 
I did not see any adults today.

Phil again notes the absence of the male (Pride). He writes (APR 16):

Hi Ken, I was at the nest at 16:15. I observed the Adult Female and the Eagle perched on the same branch (difficult to see). I have not seen Pride in approximately a week.
