User's notes

this youngster is the first of 3 seen here, each is listed separately, the other 2 adults seen are presumably the parents but they did not come in together. The youngster came in very close unlike the adults.

These eagles live along the Molonglo here and usually nest near Coppins Crossing. They are often sighted between Mount Painter and Strathnairn, to Shepherds Lookout. We are just hoping they won't be disturbed by the new settlements of Whitlam and Ginninderry.
