visiting the farm, and I went to the river to retrieve the scull in preparation for her lesson on the river later in the afternoon. We became aware of the unmistakable scream of an eagle. We walked over to a point where we could look up at the nest that I have been monitoring. I had been disappointed on the last two morning walks to find no signs of the pair, but today that was turned around. In the nest was an immature, and and adult. We watched not knowing what was about to happen, the second parent arrived and landed close by and at that moment, as if that were the cue, the young eagle soared out of the nest, followed immediately by both parents lifting off as well. So all three were in the air above our heads, what a spectacular moment in time. As we watched we spotted the the other part of the pair flying above the woods. The eagles are launched!
