One Let by the nest out on a branch and the other Let in the nest

Have not seen either one fly yet but I did capture a wingersize on my last trip to Vanier Park nest last week so I know fledging is right around the corner for these two baby's.

Hello Everyone,

Diana, beautiflul pictures of the two eaglets flying. I haven't been able to make it down to this nest lately, but I have been keeping tabs on the form. I know how you felt when you watched these two eaglets flying. I was lucky enough to see one of Port Moody's eaglets fly last season, and I was so excited, I was litterally hopping. Congratulations on being able to witness and photograph such an event!

Wow Diana you are very lucky to capture both fleglings flying around the area...it seems everytime I go down they are in the tree and I haven't seen either fly yet...I also see ma and pa but they also hide between the leaves and its so hard to get a good shot as I don't have a good camera like yours...well anyway Bravo another successful season at the Vanier Park nest.
