Ok, Now What?

What a morning we had! Actually, the last 2 days, so far. The eaglets are now juveniles. Both have fledged :) We found this one (D'eagle) in the woods on the ground on July 17, 2016 in the morning. We think she flew from the nest and when trying to land again, she crashed as she was on the ground in the trees. We coaxed her out and she followed us out after a few moments. Then once she found the way out, she played in the mud, took a mud bath, explored everything, including picking up a big stump and trying to fly with it. This photo is when she had just come out of the trees and turned to look at me as if to say "Now what?"...lol.

 

A little background on how we came about with naming the juveniles. One of our groups eagle watchers named them according to their colouring. One of the eagles is a darker colour, so she was named D'eagle (short for dark eagle). The other one being lighter in colour, more of a medium brown, was named L'eagle (short for lighter eagle).
