A juvenile Bald Eagle, perhaps 2 to 3 years old, making its getaway after a big catch . . . that's a beauty!

And he flies, covering the land Stirring the hearts through all generations of man Poets tell of his bearing, truth on a feathery wind Painters paint from inspiration A beautiful picture that only a memory can bring (Lyrics from "An Occasional Eagle" by Fred Carter, Jr.)

Have an epic Independence Day 2022!!

I want to fly like an eagle To the sea Fly like an eagle Let my spirit carry me . . . Credit: Fly Like An Eagle by Steve Miller

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 . . .
