p.1 #1 · Fourth of July Bald Eagle Fledge

That's right, at 7:24 a.m. on the 4th of July this immature eagle fledged out of it's nest to join it's sibling whom left a day earlier. An awesome experience to behold.

First shot is 10 seconds prior to takeoff.

Congratulations for being there for the launch. Amazing - boy that juvenile looks very concentrated & centered ready to go.

Great shots Herb & again - congratulations for being there for it.

Great timing on your part and I really like #2. I missed out on the leap of faith on the nest I follow 3 times.

#2 is a very unusual angle. Super catch.

Thanks Duane, just got lucky I guess. I haven't spent much time there, but this time I did.

Thanks Jude, the pose is unusual and the angle is basically what I was left with without any pine branches in the way.
