Mother Eagle Teaching her Lone Eaglet to Fly

Only one of her eggs hatched this year. I have followed this nest for three years and there were two eaglets in 2012 and two in 2013.
She was teaching him to fly and when I arrived I did not know he was nearby in a tree. She began swooping down at me and flying around and around. Then, she flew to the branch above the nest and the eaglet followed where it came into a perfect landing in the nest..

The baby looks almost as large as the mother. Wonderful and detailed nature photo.

Wow what an experience you had! She's being a great Mom - protective and teaching.

It must be just as tense as teaching your child to drive!
