Hadn't checked on the eagles since Wednesday since my neighbors were in residence. Knowing they had departed I walked over with my dog.
I saw one eagle in the air but the nest did not have the telltale white head of the mate in it that I've seen every time I'm down there. Oh no, don't tell me something went wrong! I know they are tough birds but we have had some cold, rainy and windy weather.
Walking home I turned around for one last look and was happy to finally see a white head. What a relief! The mate was perched on their favorite branch above the nest. All is well.
