Ready for takeoff?

On 05/18/2025 08:34 am by Randy Strauss | Eagle Ridge Park, Nebraska

The three eaglets continue to quickly grow, and I would think are just about ready to fly (if they haven't already). I call them Moe, Larry and Curly. This one is Moe, which I consider to be the most confident. While the three waited for dad to arrive with breakfast, Moe and Larry did their morning exercises. Curly was as usual a late riser, and mostly lounged around in the nest. Dad brought them a second breakfast 45 minutes later, something I'd not seen before but indicative of the appetites they now have. Mom was nearby on her favorite perch, talking every so often (a high-pitched sound similar to gulls).
