Pt Edwards Eaglets getting closer to launching

Although a bit harsh, the lighting allowed me to bump up the shutter speed on these. Both of the nestlings are getting more active and the wing feathers are looking pretty complete.

Great shots. They are going to wear out that trampoline in their nest and will take to the skies soon.

Thanks, Christine and Bill! Yep, won't be long. I hope we can get some shots of them practicing their first flights. I'm sure we will be checking on them daily.

I was at the Tualatin Refuge yesterday and the eaglet is flying from tree to tree now. But still seems uncertain at times. He or she is still screaming at mom and dad for attention.

Great shots.

 

[Terry O]

Thanks, Janice. I'm hoping we get the same opportunity to watch our pair.

Nothing too exciting today, but definitely worthwhile checking in on the babies Bill Anderson may have some to add. They both made some pretty fantastic jumps!
