Flight Training

Looks like our young bald eagles are testing their wing,getting in some flight training for the coming day when they take their first solo flight. They are growing fast and putting on feathers. Notice also the changes in color. Before we know it, they will be leaving the nest. I am grateful for the opportunity to watch them from the top of Skinner Butte.
