Hornsby Update
Written by Doug Carrick:

All goes well for the chick (chicks?). At nine this morning the eagle stole a midshipman from the crows and flew it up to the nest. At nine-thirty it caught a midshipman itself and also flew it up to the nest and at nine-forty it caught one for itself, eating it on "dinner rock" used for such occasions. Activity such as this occurs at low tide when all sorts of yummies are exposed.

If the chick hatched on April 28 as estimated, it would now be two weeks old. Every week increases its chance of survival. There could possibly be two chicks, but I have no way of knowing - not until late June or early July when they climb up on the edge of the nest to exercise their wings. Likewise there is no way I can get a photograph until then.
