“Am I doing this right?”
“Is this the standard eagle pose?”
“Do these wings make my butt look big?” (says the baby eagle if it’s a she).
“Man, the chicks are gonna dig these.” (says the eagle if it’s a guy.)
“I have lift off.”
“Quiet down, I’m trying to sleep.”
“Kids!”
Above is a short video of the baby eagle flapping his wings. I stopped by the nest on a cold windy day in mid-February. Both babies looked good. By now they are around 2 months old? I’m not sure when they hatched. Only when I could see them peeking over the nest so they could be close to 3 months old. By now they are flying far away.

Oh, this is just wonderful! Love it when they do that 🙂

Oh, I love eagles! These are beautiful shots.
Happy Tuesday. ☺
Fabulous photos, Dina. In my hometown out on the British Columbia coast, the eagles are sitting on eggs, and I’m following their progress on Facebook.

What a wonderful series! Loved your captions too!
How special to be able to watch this.
Great WBW post!
Amazing photos.
Oh these are wonderful Eagle and Eaglette images…you are so fortunate to view so closely~
Great photos of the young eagles. Amazing to be able to get this close to get photos.
Your eaglets are at about the same stage as our local one in Pembroke Pines– flight-ready! Very nice shots– I especially like the expressiveness of the adult eagle.
Tremendous series on the eagle nest! Well done!
Funny, captions! I love the shots of the Eagles on the nest. They grow so fast. Dina, your photos are awesome!
Your eagle pics top my eagles (no surprise here!)…. ‘ours” fledged Monday. They hatched around New Year’s Day.
Great captures!
Wonderful pictures – I’d love to be able to get this close to an eagles nest.
I like the “odd couple” post before as well!
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW – Stewart M – Melbourne
It is hard to describe a bird of prey as cute, but yes, they are cute.
