***Every time I read a post or check chat, it seems to be a different eaglet that everyone thinks went overboard. I'm no longer going to try to keep up with the name swap. It's Reign or Manini - now everyone can be satisfied. LOL
0:08 - The nest appears to have an indented "soft spot", and while hopping around, eaglet managed to land on it just right.... to slip right on out of the nest. It didn't appear that flight actually took place, but flapping surely helped to make sure it was an easier landing. Sibling was certainly curious as to what just happened!
2:32 - Eaglet is located on the ground beneath the nest! Wings are flapping and s/he is moving around easily, navigating the lush landscape just fine.
6:13 - From this clip, you can see where eaglet is wandering, in comparison to the nest above. Another good perspective of this begins at 8:52
Eaglet is not in immediate danger. S/he is right there, just a short distance beneath the family, and parents are aware and watching. There is not a great concern for predators as the eagles are the apex predators of the island. The nest is not very high up, but it will be a challenge for eaglet to get there, and this may take a day or two. Until then, all we can do is watch with the understanding that all is honestly fine here and there is little to no cause for any legitimate concern at this time. Frankly, eaglet has so far seemed rather curious about the whole event, and his/her new surroundings!
