Eagle Flight School

kdog

I spotting this eagle circling and looking for something.


He looks up and calls.


Ah, there's his student.


First lesson is synchronized soaring.


Where dad goes, junior follows.


Getting a little crazy now.


Junior gets a little close.


Dad has a cross word.


And they disappeared into dots on the horizon.


Thanks for lookin'.

Thanks, Benjamin. I was very glad I was there as well. It was an amazing display. The more I learn about eagles, the more facinating they become. I just recently found out that they mate for life. And now, it's abundantly clear to me that the juveniles are mentored and taught by the adults. And they're so much fun to watch. I can't tell you how much time I've spent in the past few weeks chasing the buggers. I just wish I had a better lens. :uhoh

hey, your "dots on the horizon" are mostly how close i get when i see them....and i agree with you that they are very fascinating.

every notice, though......an eagle's facial expression never changes
