Eaglet....Practicing Flying

Sorry to ignore this blog for such a long period of time. We have seen very little of the eagles this summer aside from Ernest hunting from the light post on the 520 Bridge at times. But now we hear from the Union Bay blogger that the single eaglet in the nest this summer is eating the parents out of house and home and is now practicing his flying skills by flapping his wings, rising up out of the nest, and back down. To eat some more. He is now larger than Ernest, and perhaps larger than his very large mother, Ethel, at this point. As it is getting on towards mid-July the youngster will soon fly. I will keep you informed.
