Back in town, & all is well with our eagles

We were out of town for most of the month of June, and had no chance to check on our feathered friends. But on Friday Ethel was on a light standard on the 520 Bridge on my round trip into the city. She still has kind of a disheveled look about her....the feathers on her upper back look a bit caterwampus. But maybe that's the way it gets for a mom with twin eaglets in the nest. Today is July 1, and according to my inexact math the eaglets could fledge by the end of the month. What a treat if we are able to see them in the air. I will check with the Ava and Albert blogger to see what he observes. But the most important thing is that the little eagle family appears to be flourishing at this point. It will have been one year on August 2 that our beloved Eddie went to Rainbow Bridge....we still miss you Eddie.
