I received this query from Judith on the South Florida Audubon Website:

"Does anyone know how the Quiet Waters Eagles are doing?!??"

My reply

Hi, Judith-- I have not heard anything since Kit's visit on March 15th, when one of the eaglets was branching. First free flight usually occurs within a week after branching. They may return to the nest to be fed, especially if more than one eaglet successfully fledged. I presume that Quiet Waters Park was subsequently closed due to the Coronavirus restrictions. Since the only clear observation area was from inside the Park, we may never know.
