The cams have been down for about two weeks, sent to the factory for repairs. Someone from the center reports at the website that the eaglet is still in the vicinity of the nest with mom and dad. They are still feeding her, so I don't think she's ready to head north yet. She'll have to be able to feed herself first.

Before the cams went down I was able to see her fly several times to one of the dead trees or stumps in the lake. She'd perch for quite a while and then head back to the tree mom and dad use for observing her.

She is the 23rd or 24th fledgling for this pair of eagles.

Will they be putting the cameras back up after repairs?

Yes, but come winter the cams come down. If the eaglet heads north before the cameras are repaired they may not put them back up until next year.
