The Last Fledgling

The last young eagle on the nest across the lake has been alone on the nest for over two weeks. His two siblings fledged over two weeks ago. The adults would come and feed him. Today I saw the adult coaxing him and he would try to get up on a stick and fall back into the nest. This was taken just before he fledged after a few tries. He flew off the nest like a natural and soared over the nest beautifully while mom or dad watched and encouraged him. Wonderful to watch.
This was taken with the FZ80 Bridge camera at full optical and digital zoom (4800mm equivalent) in over 30 degree heat so not the best quality with the distance, digital zoom, and heat haze.
