After several “test jumps” this week, one of the eaglets has flown from the nest.  The somewhat perplexed sibling watches as the intrepid one soars from the platform, returning after a few hours.  There are adults in the area, and the ferry crew has seen them unencumbered along the waterway, but I have yet to see more than one adult at a time tending the fledglings.

For the photo series we took in June of 2012 of the juvenile’s first flight, click here.
