At the Decorah Eagles nest in Iowa, DH3 and DH4 are climbing higher through the nest tree as their first flights draw closer. What begins as branching practice turns into a lively sibling moment, with one eaglet perched above while the other stretches its wings below. The nest bowl is no longer their whole world, and every move makes the sky feel a little closer.
Luna has stepped beyond the Big Bear nest bowl, entering the branching stage before first flight. She has not fledged yet, but the nest is beginning to feel like a launchpad.
