Our eagle pups have fledged (flown), but still hang out with mom and dad on Santa Cruz
22 June, Santa Cruz IslandEaglet soars, perhaps for the first time.
Here are other recent clips from the nest cam:

Capt. Dan, I have admired your zeal for life and what you have brought to us land lubbers through your sight and this site. I do have a question for you, myself dabbling as an a suedo ornithologist and falconer in times past, an eagle “pup”? Where did that terminology come from? An eyass or a fledgling will work but I have yet to see fur or bipedal fins on birds yet (seal pup, fox pup; eagle pup (?)……however I may have missed something in my science class in high school
Eagle Pup – chalk that up to poetic (and anthropomorphic) license.
