They grow up so quick!! Good thing she was calm as I imagine she could cause some serious damage if she tried to...

Beautiful Portrait BTW

Happy Shooting

Was away for a few days and just saw this story. You had pretty much predicted it, so there were probably others waiting to move into action. A wonderful series of this tragic story with a happy middle. Let's hope the ending is just as good! #8457831

Thomas E. Hinds March 15, 2010

So sorry about the nest, Hal! Tremendous images chronicling their plight! I so hope all will work out for them all! You were so right about the nest being in a precarious location. Hopefully they will reunite. I guess this means Archie and Edith will find a more suitable place for a nest later on! Absolutely great work, Hal! Keep us informed, please! #8457908

Amanda J. Tanner level-classic March 15, 2010

Hal, This is wonderful news! I am so happy. I cried when I saw their nest on the ground. Thank You for sharing the great news that they will be ok. You made a reality happen for so many people that would never get to see these beautiful birds. I had never seen a baby eagle. Thank You so Much. This is a wonderful shot of Gloria. #8457995

Glad to hear the babies will be released shortly.
My mind has been on them so much the past few days.
I keep thinking of all the pleasure they and Archie and Edith gave us.
I have to admit, I said a little prayer for them and I don't pray much. #8458556
