    I know it's anecdotal, but I checked the most recent
    known nest once or twice this season and saw no signs
    of activity. I don't remember exactly when I checked,
    but there should have been growing chicks evident by
    that time of the season.
    Other times I've been up there I didn't see any eagles
    in flight or on the towers. It's good to know they're
    still around!
    Cheers,
