Jordan Lake. First Nest. Bald eagle chicks soon begin to exercise their wings and chest muscles in anticipation of eventual flight. I call this exercise “wing wapping”. As you can see the exercise can get quite vigorous. At one point the chick that is wing wapping is annoying the other two chicks.
Bald Eagle First Nest
TagKate Gathering Nest Lining Materials
Jordan Lake. First Nest. All birds keep their nests extremely clean. Kate is gathering up new nest lining to replace the soiled material that she and Bard carried out and dropped far away from the nest. Video starts with a few slides to show you how Mom Kate is gathering up the materials and then I caught her flying off with a whole bundle and landing in the nest where you can see both parents and the chicks.
Sun Catcher
Jordan Lake. First Nest. “Oh drat,” I said, “please Mom Kate don’t go around behind the trees.” I sighed. Then I got home and started to look through the day’s photos and well, maybe I should not have said drat at all. Mom Kate makes a fine sun-catcher in the fog.

Jordan Lake, First Nest Chick has FLEDGED!
The bald eagle chick FLEDGED today! I watched him going up and down and up and down from the nest to the branches above the nest. Then he stopped, way up high, looked toward the main lake, quivered, and flew away from the nest. Oh, my!
