As you know, I've been addicted to watching the Decorah Eagles from the first pip in the first egg. It's been amazing to see such devoted parents care for their babies in every type of weather and circumstance. Now the eaglets (E1, E2 & E3 as they are called in numerical order of hatching) are ready to fledge. The folks at the Raptor Resource Project estimate the fledge will occur sometime between June 11th and 25th. They feel it will happen later rather than sooner.
So, if you haven't gotten a chance to glimpse this incredible eagle family, make sure to click on the link below. It's cool to see how big they've gotten. There are lots of antics to watch. The eaglets love to practice their flying and sit on the tree branches next to their parents. And, who knows, maybe you'll catch that incredible moment when the eaglets become free of their nest and begin to soar the skies.
