FYI
16 June: Nest cam watchers observed the eaglet fly off of the nest early this morning!
It is possible that it will make occasional reappearances at the nest in the coming days or weeks
(kind of like a hungry college student!). The adults will likely continue bringing
food to and using the nest for a while, and you may still catch a glimpse of the eaglet.
Many have asked to see video of the fledging. Our archive did not record
that few seconds of behavior, but here is a link to a 10-minute YouTube video someone from
the Maine eagle discussion group caught:
