FIRST NEST
AH! HA! I finally caught Resolute the fledgling in full flight this morning.
Oh how very eagle proud he looks!

Resolute has FLEDGED!
I didn’t get to see the first flight which I think occurred on Friday.
I did get to catch this much of Resolute’s flight this morning. She was about 500 feet from the nest.
The fledging occurred when Resolute was 12 weeks of age.
Hopefully I will be able to catch the newest flier at the lake out in the open soon and get a photo for all of you.

Resolute is getting his body ready for flight.
He stretches, scratches itchy new feathers and shows his wing span in slo motion in the video.
His wings now reach across the width of the nest.

Kate had just finished feeding Resolute.
Resolute will be 8 weeks old on March 24. He is almost as big as mom.
I managed to grab these few seconds of video.
My camera that I usually use for doing videos is not happy.
I resorted to using my iPhone to catch a few seconds of the live view from my other camera.

Resolute is growing like a weed …
but all I could catch with my camera was a wing flip today.
So don’t blink … but if you did … there is a slo mo replay.

I didn’t get to directly see Resolute, argh, again!
However, Kate brought in this huge mat of nesting material.
She then proceeded to feed Resolute, but he was behind one of the branches.
I could see her tearing off bites and leaning in to feed him.

Godiva was sitting on her nest when a 3-year-old bald eagle buzzed the nest.
Godiva in lower left corner and 3-year-old in the sky.
Hershey (not shown) showed up zooming at top speed and the juvenile eagle left in a flash.
