Golden Eagle Flight Training 7-20-10, Lyons, CO

I have been watching this baby golden eagle for this past month grow up from a fuzzy white headed and speckled youngster to a beautiful adolescent. I took this video today of her as she was practicing flapping her wings and almost falling out of the nest!

This nest is on a sheer cliff about 300 feet in the air, so you aren’t seeing the whole picture. She looks like she will be ready to fly any day.

I will be compiling my footage and adding more posts and videos. Please come back soon.

Was that Nancy’s gasp when she flapped her wings?
