It looks like Stephen Jr. is back in the states. According to the Seattle Times, Stephen Jr. has been spotted in Oregon by Jack Noller at the Klamath National Wildlife Refuge on Christmas Eve. “I am sure that Stephen Sr. will be happy that his ‘baby’ is back in California, but just barely. It was seen flying off with prey remains when I last saw it,” Charlotte Ann Kisling of Dorris (a “well-known birder”) said of seeing A-46 on Christmas Day.

Aww, lil’ Stevie’s growing up! Look at the pwetty white head feathers (they should be all white by next year) and he eats just like his daddykins – coochie coo! Me loves birds ;)

Who’s that with him? I’d say it’s his “lady,” but he’s too young to breed. Maybe she’s a “cougar.”

His eagle guardian? He’s not an adult yet so he probably has to have an adult with him.
