5:15 pm Redding time, all 3 of the eaglets on the Victory Branch...I thought the furthest one out was an adult, but then realized it was a leaf that made it look like it had a white tail!

Sounds like a wonderful event, eaglewoman - I do wish I could have been there, but your pictures make me feel a part of the action.

I'm glad the eagles/eaglets put in an appearance - they don't always realize that it really is about them.

Thank you so much for letting us be a part of it all.

Great pics eaglewoman:!: Congratulations on organizing an even bigger and better Fledgefest than the successful one last year.

How nice all three presented themselves for the evening fest--and that Patriot posed so patiently for the group.

Thanks to everyone who came out for our Fledgefest and to those who were there in spirit. It was a lot of fun. Here is wishing Peace, Shasta, and Justice successful fledges and long, peaceful, and productive lives in the sky. Hope to see them somewhere fairly close by for many years to come.

Hi EveryoneCongratulations and thanks to eaglewoman and her family on a very successfull Fledgefest 2010! It was a wonderful event and it was so cool than so many folks came out to share the love Sorry I missed you eagle eye and eagletwatcher but I had to go to the late show due to work It was a great night, the weather was perfect and the stars of the show were kind enough to be present as well! Thanks again to all who supported this event. It is much appreciated Sorry I didn't get to meet you MM and it's too bad you couldn't make it itsgrama but there is always next year Hope to see you all out there then. Ahoy Skipper It was so nice of you to check in with us. We miss all your insight and wisdom and I knew you couldn't stay completely away forever! HAHAHA! Bye for now. At least that gob of web, leaves and cotton isn't being quite so bothersome. Yay!....

JudyB~we sure wish you could've been there with us~but all of our Hancock friends were definitely there in spirit!

Thanks Eagle Eye~I'm hoping next year you can attend both am & pm events!!!
Here are a few more pics you might enjoy...

Both young and old enjoyed the views...

And, last but not least, the stars of the show yesterday...

The eaglets....



And, our beloved Patriot looking a bit embarrassed by all of the attention...

I am sorry we did not make it back last night as planned but we had some electrical issues at the RV.

I did make it back this evening..and snapped away...not knowing what I was getting without the view of a scope.

I got back to the RV tonight and started "zooming & cropping" the photos.

This is what I captured... the TRIPLETS!!!

This makes it worth every mosquito bite that I got tonight!!

Thank You again for planning the Fledge-Fest! I hope I can make it again next year...MM
