Baby eagles on each side of the nest with one of the parents in the middle.
One of the proud parents sitting on a branch next to the nest.
One of the babies was flapping his wings while the other looks.
This past Sunday I made a trip to Honeymoon Island to see how big the baby eagles have gotten. It's amazing how much they have grown since I was there 5 weeks ago. They were sitting on the nest looking almost as big as their parents. They are around 9-10 weeks old. In the next 2 weeks they will probably start to fly. They will spend 4-5 weeks after their first flight still hanging around the nest building up their wing strength. I think I'm going to have to make a trip out there again before they leave for good.
Great pics!
