This bear visited very early in the morning at daybreak -- the infrared light is still on for watching the eaglets through the night. None of the staff had yet arrived for work. I suspect that any bears in the area steer clear of the wildlife center when there are humans around.

Around 6:00 this morning, the youngest eaglet accidently fell out of the nest. He is in the bottom right of the picture.



After he spent a little more than an hour of hanging out on the ground, one of the doctors retrieved him and put him back in the nest. Because he hasn’t branched yet like his two older sisters or ventured out of the nest at all [other than sitting on the edges] the staff felt that he would likely not figure out how to get back up to the nest on his own.

Awww life can be hard in the beginning!!

The group was exercising after dinner tonight. It will not be long before the wildlife center will have to open the flight area for them to really practice flying.
