Golden Eagle fledglings update and photos



I checked on the Golden Eagle fledglings in Fremont County today. The nest was empty but I found one fledgling only about a hundred feet from the nest. It gave its begging call a number of times, apparently telling the parent birds it wanted to be fed. The white base to its tail is quite visible in the first photo. In the photo, the bird is sitting with its back to us.

After looking further I found the second fledgling (maybe the older sibling) almost a half mile away on the top of a butte. This bird is in the second photo.
