Remember the eagle cam?
The one in Decorah, Iowa, that showed a bald eagle hatching her eggs back in April. I posted a link to it then, and over 153 million people have viewed it; on any day, 20,000-30,000 people are watching. The nest is located in a Sycamore tree 80' off the ground; the nest is 6' deep and 6' feet across and weighs a ton.
Well, today one of the 3 eaglets had its maiden flight. All 3 eaglets were doing what is called "branching"--hopping from branch to branch before flying. Once an eaglet flies, it may or may not return to the nest; however, it usually stays close by for a while and tries to get an handout of food from its parents. One of the eaglets will be captured and fitted with a solar-powered transmitter so that its whereabouts can be determined for years. It's not unusual for eagles to fly several States away.
