Thursday
The DC TV station meteorologists are calling the storms that roared through this region yesterday the most widespread and vicious that they have ever seen. Tornado warnings were widespread, and huge areas of Northern Virginia and Maryland and parts of WV are without power. Where I live there is no power anywhere, despite little visible damage.
So, yesterday, as I was driving out about 4:00 pm, I did see our first fledgling, perched at the top of a sycamore about three hundred yards to the southeast of the the nest tree. Have not gotten any reports this AM, other than the second fledge occurring less than an hour ago.
Here is the link to that event, thanks Glo.

Heavy Weather at NCTC
Just had a big line of strong storms, including tornadoes come through here. The two eaglets are wet, but acting normal. No sign of the adults or the fledgling right now. Live feed is down.

Here's a shot of the tree, see about 10:00 oclock from the nest--is that our youngster?
Also, It is very dark here, storm is coming.
Wednesday PM
Fledge One, approx 11:55 am.
We have video, I believe, and I just requested a clip. When I get it I will post.
I know that you folks have video too.... here's the link.

Friday
End of the week thread.
Update: When I drove up to our four way this AM, I could see one eaglet flapping hard and lifting off the nest 2-3 feet. I'd say the fledge is getting close for our oldest one, and the other two not far behind...

Tuesday part 2
First turtle of the year in the nest. Eagles are opportunistic predators, and one unlucky turtle just gave an opportunity.
These birds are just itching to fledge.
Fresh thread.
