12 JULY 09

This is HE (no, not "he") the youngest of the triplet eagle chicks at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens nest

She has not yet left the nest area & was trying her wings out this morning
She has experienced more than a few crash landings, thus the clip in her right wing

Her brother, HK, and older sister, HH (also known as Azalea because she has a transmitter) are already gone & learning to hunt with their parents

HE, the Diva, still gets attention from the parents, tho.
At least once a day, usually twice, an adult will return to the nest with a fish.

Once, big brother HK brought in some leftovers from his dinner .. what a good big brother


here, she is changing branches upon which she will spend the rest of her day

Canon EOS 40D
1/1000s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso250 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
