The eaglet is as big as the parents now. It won’t be long before he fledges. By the end of the month, he should be out and flying. This photo was taken yesterday. I stopped by the nest twice. Both times, a couple of blue jays were dive bombing the adult eagle in the nest. In the afternoon, both the adult and the eaglet were screaming along with the taunting blue jays. Check my Flickr photo stream for more photos of the blue jay harassment. The adult was trying to get the blue jays, but the little dive bombers were too quick and agile. I have really enjoyed watching the nest this year, and am so fortunate that the landowner has allowed me access for better views of the nest.
Take care everyone and enjoy the spring!
