About two months old now, these young eaglets have made the most of their protein diet and have developed the musculature and coordination to hop/fly to branches further from the nest. Coincidentally, this activity is called "branching" and is the precursor to flying. The adults will continue to provide food, but many times will not be in the nest. I have seen them eating in the trees in the park area and even on a picnic table. I look forward to this stage of development for the birds will be lower and won't leave the vicinity for a couple of months.
