Thanks to everyone for the links to all of the other great sites with video and information about this inspirational wildlife! A great, and uplifting change from True Crime stories. I watch our Decorah Eagle family every morning as I have coffee. This morning, I was watching, and all three were taking turns literally hopping up and down and catching "air time" with their wings!!! It was SO cute!!! I had a long phone call at work, so I logged on while answering stupid questions on the phone, and probably startled my caller by giggling because one of the eaglets was literally hopping up and down as if he/she was trying to see how high they could get. One of the last hops, was so good, and the wings worked so well, the eaglet literally lifted off of the ground, and you could only see his talons for a few seconds before he decended. It was hysterical! They were really hot for most of the day, so I hope they get a good night's sleep and have a cooler day tomorrow to practice their "hopping/flying" in the nest. It certainly isn't going to be long before they are airborne.
