Young Bald Eagle Spreads its Wings

Seems the Bald Eagle pair has produced only one chick this year but it is already getting big and preparing to fledge. There is now a daily contingent of photographers huddling around the nest tree at the cemetery. I remember to good old days of it only being me wandering around the graves and bird watching.

Sigh.

Anyway, here is the healthy chick posed on the edge of the nest.



A little while later, the bird stretches.



I later found it on another branch so it has begun to fly a bit already.

One more fledged and we will wait until next season to see more Eagle production.
