p.1 #1 · Eaglet chick takes flight

This is another update on the Pembroke Pines (FL) Eaglets (Hope & Justice)...Both Eaglets have been flying for a few days and dramitically improving their landing technique. Here's one on the chicks today taking flight off the nest. Due to the distance and heavy vegetation, these are not great shots but they at least show one of the chicks in action.

(here's the volunteer's nest watchers blog)

Just about to 'jump' off...

Good photos. I believe the chicks in our local nest to be 4 or 5 days old. The parents are busy with numerous feedings while I watched yesterday.
