PREPARING FOR FLIGHT.

A set of four images showing the trampoline-type jumping exercises of one of the young Eaglets whilst its sibling looks on. The Eaglet kept up these exercises for what seemed like five to ten minutes.

Top image: Down, feet on nest and wings fully raised.

Airborne, with feet off of nest and wings flapping downward.

Down again, feet on nest and wings rising upward.

Airborne again with wings in full downward swing.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 500mm f/4D IF-ED AF-S II
1/1000s f/7.1 at 700.0mm iso500 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Along the Srait of Juan de Fuca, they get blown downwind when they first take off and can't get back to the nest. Nice series, Hank.

They have turned into beautiful eagles. Enjoyable series.

Another excellent series of images on this family of eagles. Looks like a lot of practicing and learning involved. A wonderful collection and so well shot Hank. VVV

Love these Eagle shots Hank. Good thing they build them nests sturdy, or it would all come crashing down with all that jumping around!

Hard to believe that not that long ago they were little white fuzzy balls, and now... majestic and beautiful. Love this set of shots.

What a huge wingspan. Only room for one to practice at a time. Terrific series.

Really good series, Hank. Decent lighting for a change, too.
