It's official! Ethel & Ernest are raising a pair of eaglets.

Another blogger who lives near the Arboretum has posted a video of Ethel and Ernest and two eaglet chicks in the nest above the Golf Course. This confirms what we have suspected. What fabulous news. The eaglets (gender undetermined) are already spreading their wings. They should be ready to fledge sometime next month. The local Cable News channel (NW Cable News) did a special report on our 520 eagles last evening. Some have named them Ava and Albert, but whatever they are called, they remain Ethel and Ernest to us, and we love our magnificent feathered pair. The video shows Ernest actively feeding the youngsters. Again....it is magic, that Ethel was able to find another mate after Eddie and bring him back to her nest in The Arboretum. Ernest, we will be forever grateful to you for following your love to her land and people. You are one special guy. A true Millennium Man.
