The new baby is so cute! You can hear him, "Peep, peep!"

Last year's single baby eaglet, named Phoenix, was almost fledged when he died suddenly and unexpectedly. Upon examination it was discovered that he died of a respiratory infection. Last year there was also a second egg which never hatched. Let's hope this year's babies do better.

Last summer there were a HUGE number of eagles nesting along the Kootenai. They are starting to show back up now, and I hope there are just as many. Last year I had the first in a lifetime privilege of watching a FLOCK of eagles!
