Growing up....

Just watching the 3 eaglets in their nest via Webcam at zaplive.tv

They should fledge in 3 weeks or so. Their wings are constantly flapping, whacking their nest mates over the head. They're learning to eat live prey that is brought into the nest by a parent and they teeter on the edge of the nest precariously jumping from one branch to another, giving all who watch the same feeling as when our own children began to climb and walk and.......fall.

The parents have done well. So far, they have managed to feed all three, an unusual feat I should think. Usually at least one succumbs to one type of fatality or another by the time they've reached this stage.

But cheers to Breeze, Hero and Tiny and of course their untiring, determined parents. The real test of survival of the fittest is yet to come....living in the wild.

I look forward to seeing some eagles up at Waskesiu when we go. It's fun to watch them fish and soar and screech and own the skies.
