snowbuff, I was thinking if I'm gonna stare at these darn things all day I should know something about em... um, most of it's scary!
These bad birds are making me look like a good parent! At least I don't just sit by and watch as my boys pummel each other...and I've kept them alive a pretty long time now!
That's cool about the eagles at your dad's place! Am not surprised at seeing one get dumped outta the nest. Mean buggers! But cool to see that first flight, I bet.
At the family cabin that got sold for a song off of Little Arbor Vitae, there was a pair we would always see. They liked to watch us fish. I think they might've been eyeballing the kids when they were little too!!
