Bald Eaglet (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
Photographed the Bald Eaglet up in the nest in a large Poplar in the Cedar Meadows Wildlife Park located in the Township of Mountjoy in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada
The young will stay in the nest about 11 to 12 weeks
when the adults will start encouraging them to fly. The
eaglets can often be seen exercising their wings on the
nest or on a nearby branch several days prior to fledging
(first flight from the nest). The young will stay at or near the nest for the next 6 weeks while the adults continue to feed them and teach them to hunt and fish on their own. Young eagles are
believed to return to within 100 miles or so of their own nest site when they reach maturity and are ready to mate.
