to the nest today and here are my ground level observations: B10 seems strong
and alert, but not confident. The parents are bringing food to the nest, but I
don't see how they could feed it on that tiny limb. Dr. Renee' Carleton stopped
by and so did DNR. Also, the licensed raptor rehaber in the area is very aware
of the situation." B10 flaps & moves on the branch a bit 6:43; flaps

sneezes 11:54:30 & 11:54:35pm. Per BCE: "We have received many concerned messages about
the position of the eaglet and our camera difficulties and wanted to provide an
update. Our eagle experts are confident that given the eaglet's age, it will
fledge very soon (certainly well before it would have any health concerns.)
Wildlife authorities are aware of the situation. Also, camera 1 had technical
issues this weekend. This is expected, given that these cameras are streaming
24/7 and we cannot perform on-site maintenance during eagle season."
