The one eagle is jumping up and down, flapping his/her wings.....

Can't belong before they head off on their own!

They said right about now...they look like they are ready!!

EDIT - They are both sitting on branches next to the nest.

sometimes it's like watching grass grow.

And you know the instance you look away, off they go!

Still there, but one levitated about a foot up, so soon!!

Morris

Yes, ^^ I'm afraid NOT to look.
I've seen them flap up to the big branch that heads up the tree, so a couple feet now.
I also noticed the bird that seemed to get picked on by his sibling, finally pecked back at the other. I've watched him/her stand with its back to Mom/Dad and sibling while they ate, and felt bad for it. Go get 'em.

In Canada there was an Osprey site that ended up having to be taken down because the viewers could not stand seeing the behavior between the siblings. I do hope the underdog in this case makes it.

Freedom has flown the coop! Here is a video. Scroll forward to see other videos.

Thanks for the link. I was watching this morning, then just tuned in and didn't know if Freedom was on the branch above again, or gone.
Once they leave, do they come back, like to spend the dark hours, or is he gone, gone, gone?

Kinda looks like he's g-o-n-e. Berty is just sitting there looking lonely.
