We received these two emails from residents on Surber Drive with the great news about the eaglets nesting in a tree on the Talaris property:
Great news! On Sunday, using a spotting scope from our backyard, we sighted one eagle chick in the nest, as it was being fed. We observed closely, and didn't see any sign of a second chick. Also, several times we think that we have heard the eagle chick calling to its parents. We were quite concerned when, last December, we saw a bad windstorm blow down 95% of the nest. We were very heartened, however, to see the eagles return three hours after the storm to begin rebuilding.
And the second email:
Nest report - finally was able to see with our scope, 1 and likely 2 chicks (leaves get in the way) being stuffed by a patient parent this afternoon. The chick is dark brown with tuffets of down still sticking out here and there, about the size of a chicken. Both parents are away from the nest now scouring the pantry for prey items. It seems to be more fish than fowl this year.
