Baby Bald Eagle (with parents)

I was very excited today to finally see the eaglet.  I had been out to this eagle's nest on a couple of prior occasions, but only saw the adults.  Today, there was an adult on the nest, and one on the branch above the nest.  At that time, the eaglet was either sleeping or was way down in the nest.  In a few minutes, the adult on the branch flew into the nest, then flew out.  After that, the eaglet was visible. 


This adult remained on the nest for a while.


This adult was on the branch above the nest.





Evenutally, both adults were on the nest.



Then, one adult flew to a nearby tree.



The eaglet is SO cute!
