10 weeks old and out of the nest . . he watches us as we photograph him
But out of the nest prematurely . . he really wasn't quite ready

As a VDGIF tree-climber poked his head over the nest, this eaglet spooked and took off sooner than he'd planned

The climber was up the 90-foot high tree to return a sibling eaglet that had fallen out of the nest just yesterday

This eaglet has seen us many times before but never this close
He is only 30 - 40 feet over our heads
