"I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an Eagle fly . . . " ~ John Denver

Another eagle nesting season will soon be winding down; it goes so fast. For eaglets, the time from hatching to fledging is around 10 to 12 weeks, and those days/weeks before fledging are some of the most fun to observe as they start gaining strength and coordination in their wings by wingercizing . . .

Hey bud, what's going on over there?

When an eagle snags a fish out of the river, and it is on the smallish side, sometimes they just go ahead and eat the little snack before circling back for the next catch . . .

When the shore ice is melting in Kodiak Bay Knowing that Spring is well on its way He calls to his mate of a lifetime, to a yearly nest in the thorn Planting the egg in the branches And with God's assistance, an occasional eagle is born (Lyrics from "An Occasional Eagle" by Fred Carter, Jr.)

A juvie Bald Eagle glides with grace into the afternoon sun . . .
