Peace might still be learning the ropes but his younger sibling, Hope, took to flight this am. It is the first time I have seen a fledge from the nest bed. Usually they climb up a tree branch as far as they can and fly from there.

She has been sitting in a nearby tree for 2.5 hours now. Mom and Dad have tried to get her back with food but she is staying put for the time being.

The real challenge for a fledgling is not flying per se but landing, especially back in the nest. Hunger will bring her back eventually....hopefully right side up.

Fledging, for us eagle fanatics, is both a time of joy - for the eaglet to do what it is supposed to do, and sadness knowing they will soon be gone forever.
