Hurray! What I see, fine big eaglets and wings - no tape so far. :smilie_wet_150: :smilie_wet_150: :smilie_wet_150:

... and all three doing so well, do you agree robbo? Just today i thought how sad, we can't see them exercising wings and flying, and finally fledging towards an adult bald eagle life. :treehug:

:) Wing flapping at the night. Think they are eager for having wind under their wings, get up and fly.

Not managed to see all 3 in the same pic for a while now, but all look well and nearly ready for lift off

This pic shows all three together, with its believed a female eglet in the centre a male eaglet to the right and the youngest who was at one time so far behind the others to the left.... this shot was taken on the 15th.Kuva

Looks like all three have left the nest .... :D

Nest Update

05/18/11:
We saw a parent bring an eel to the nest, which one of the eaglets quickly grabbed. We also saw a nice shot of all three eaglets , which lets us know the fledgling chicks are safe.
All three, fine and safe! :D :eagle: :eagle: :eagle:
