| Typically, less than half of eaglets hatched reach maturity, and survival rates may dip as low as 10 per cent. |
| Older eaglets will pick on younger ones and if the adults don't bring in enough food the youngest chicks usually get eaten. |
| To people, the cat represents a pet but to the eagles and to other raptors, the cat is a way to sustain the eaglets and help them to grow. |
| Covered in grey down at hatching, eaglets begin to sprout feathers at four or five weeks. |
| The number of active nests increased and the number of eaglets produced per nest improved. |
| Last summer, Caitlin observed bald eaglets fledging from nests at two sites. |
