Lincoln a week before fledging. i wasn't there when he fledged but, i did get to see him practicing to fly. he'd jump up and down in the nest and flap his wings sooo hard. i have video of it too but, i don't think there's a way to upload video on here. anyway.. it was sad to go back and see an empty nest but, it was amazing to know he was out there...flying over the Great Smoky Mountains just like his parents. finding an eagle family in the wild...in my wildest dreams i never imagined this.
