Im confident that the eagles can hold their own after, you know, when its time for them to leave the nest. Cheryl nichol loves to tell the story of the day she saw an eagle. Standing in the median on suitland parkway. I was blown away. Stood proudly like its a little man. Cheryl we have enjoyed the journey seen on the eagle cam with so many eyes on the delivery room, the eaglets hatched in february. Four days apart. Then they were given patriotic names and now we watch them prepare to leave the nest. Visitors can walk up to a certain point and then a fence holds them back several hundred feet from the tree holding the eagles nest. Cheryl the nest is 100 feet in the air. Freedom and liberty parents have been delivering food like fish from the anacostia river. Freedom returned after a few days but liberty is still, well, enjoying the freedom. I remember when they were endangered and just to see them come back is, you know, exciting. And heartening. Cheryl the females are bigger which harvey finds empowering from the Close Encounter two years ago. I really felt like that eagle gave me the power to handle situations in my life.
