Testing the Equipment

Shiloh, Tennessee

Amazing as it might seem, this 51/2 week old eagle stretched out the wings in a brisk wind to try them out...

That's Mom in the upper right hand corner.

I almost didn't see the proud parent in the right cordner
observing this event.

I've watched this before, and I agree its amazing. Before
they actually fledge, they will practice flying to
branches in their nest tree. Wonderful to watch~
You are doing a great job documenting this miracle, Michael.
Hope you can catch their first flight!

Yes a wonderful chronicle of the development of the young birds Michael.
lt looks as though it's bracing itself against a branch.

Thanks, Cindy.
Yes it is.
They know what to do and do it...
Sometimes I wish we were like that.
Life would be simpler..

Isn't nature marvelous? I'm so happy that you are documenting and sharing this marvel.
