Learning to Fly

Both on branch while parent hovers over them

Steps to Flying:
1. wingercising
2. branching
3. fledging
Right now we observe the eaglets wingercising in the nest and branching on nearby branches. This could go on for days or even weeks before they finally fledge (fly).

Here Hope continues to get good elevation, but cannot do a controlled hover just yet- both eaglets will need to successfully master controlled hovers before considering fledging.
