I guess Radisson don't trust Mr. Hardhat.   ;)

Momma has barely left Cassie's side today.  They spent most of the day side by side gazing out of the box, or cuddling or mom in front of her watching her sleep.  It's been really sweet   :'(

She sure is cute.  I can't imagine how big she will get being the only chick getting fed.

Thanks for that info Bev and I agree - more time with Cassie for us!  It's 7:50 am EST and she's is stting up near the edge of the nest box and chatting with her mama as they both look out ... don't know what kind of scenery they have to look at but hopefully it's peaceful  :D

Thanks Bev, that's a nice long time for us to continue admiring her!

You've had a long day with the eaglet watch.  What a relief that the last little one is being fed.  Good news to end the day.  Thanks Bev.

The biologist told me she probably will not fledge until she is around 45 days old

Males fledge earlier

Refresh isn't working for me.  That's new!  Getting the same shots I saw an hour ago.  Rats!   :(

Went out and back in.  She still looks the same.  But the other cams have changed.  Guess she's just chillaxing, as the kids say!

I've noticed that the parents aren't leaving baby alone for very long after the banding/capture attempt episode.   ;D 
Another little face to face chat, with  Parent  watchful over the shoulder.

Very nice to watch little Cassie this evening.  After her feeding, she staggered a bit but managed to stay awake and she's been staring out of the box chatting with mom occasionally.   Either mom or dad has been present most of the day which is nice so she hasn't been too lonely.  She is a round little ball  :D
