Those who've been watching the Blackwater NWR Eagle Cam and reading the accompanying blog for the past months know that three eaglets were successfully hatched, one moved to Vermot to join an eagle re-introduction program there, and all three have now fledged.
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the marsh, the osprey parents have just produced two young. Their story appears here; the first egg was lost but the two surviving little ones show every sign of a healthy start.
In my own nest, one son has returned from college, albeit briefly (he's off to Spain in two weeks) and he and I leave in the morning to pick up his twin brother, who will be home for less than a week before heading off to summer school. The daughter performed her senior voice recital today -- a tiny but lovely affair for family and friends of two young ladies, graduated and ready for college.
I am the only one left in school, with a week to go, so I guess summer is more or less officially here.

Damn...you need to get your butt out of that school and go on vacation. Preferably on the water somewhere. C'mon...you can do it... Lisa :-]
I bet the recital was wonderful. I am sure school seems to be dragging for you by now. It is for me and I am not even a teacher.
Sounds like life is leveling off for you, Robin - finally! Sorry that things have been so very demanding for you recently. But at last, with your own eaglets leaving the nest, you may actually be able to breathe soon. Enjoy the sensation!
