This Bald Eagle Family is an Urban Family. They are called Resident Eagles as they tend to stay during winter. They are adapting to the sounds of the city.
The Eaglets are further along in their flight attempts. They are still being bothered by the crows as parent Eagles watch from above.
They make their first "Branch" attempt. A manoeuver they learned from their parents. Their legs and wings are not yet fully developed which puts them at risk of falling.
They tug at branches within the nest which is constantly being tested by their weight and heavy winds.
Both Eaglets are very attached to each other. Sometimes they snap at each other. Other times they "Preen" each other.
It's an ever growing family.
"Branching" is the name of the stage an Eaglet enters when it jumps from the nest to an adjoining limb.
"Preening" Is a skill they learn from their parents to remove their fine down feathers that will allow their flight feathers to grow in.
