blueworldphotography > July 2--the first flying chick is getting around pretty easily now, but still has some awkward landings.  A branch got in the way during this one, but the chick made a good recovery and got to its destination.
blueworldphotography > Frustrated and hungry, the second chick cries out for the adults to bring it some food.
blueworldphotography > After claiming the fish from the adult, the chick eats while Great Blue Herons from the nearby rookery go about their business.
blueworldphotography > The chick which is able to fly follows the adult to receive his reward, leaving the other chick frustrated at not being able to fly yet.
blueworldphotography > Working hard to get the chicks flying, an adult flies by the nest with a trout and takes it to a nearby tree.
blueworldphotography > The first chick to leave the nest is now exploring the area.  The small bird is a Bullock's Oriole whose job it is to harass the eagles (both chicks and adults).
blueworldphotography > The second chick is now using the perch that the first chick used before it fledged.  It won't be long before this chick takes to the air.
blueworldphotography > Touchdown!
blueworldphotography > Hopping down to the larger branch.
