Linda stopped by the lake this morning and both fledglings and parents were accounted for.
Once chick did a crash landing in an oak tree and was hanging upside down for about a minute.
Both eaglets went into the brush covered hill together.
Both parents stood by and watched them go.
There was a fish delivery and both eaglets went into the nest to eat.

Cathy Snyder visited the nest this morning and this is what she observed:

Today, Wednesday morning at 9am one of the eaglets was in a mid air conversation over territory with a adult Red Tail Hawk. The eaglet was flying across from the nest tree on the other side of Santa Ana Rd. The adult RT gently sent the eaglet home to its nest. What wonder to view.

Cathy also found this Red Tail Hawk feather on a trail.

Linda spent a couple hours at the nest this morning. Only one fledgling was visible until Linda was getting ready to leave the lake
and the other fledgling appeared. It landed in an awkward area so she was unable to trespass to get a picture of the other fledgling.
They both look the same so at this time Linda will not identify them as #1 and #2.

After one week of flying, the fledglings are doing very well. This is the pair's first nest and they continue to stay near by and bring food.

The fledglings are traveling!
Cathy Snyder was hiking on the trail and saw an adult do a fly by and drop a dead squirrel.
