American Bald Eagles at Lake Jacomo, Missouri / Survivors Story

Описание к видео American Bald Eagles at Lake Jacomo, Missouri / Survivors Story

I was filming this in a very dusty and windy concrete alcove. I apologize for the debris on the lens of my camera for those of you watching this on larger screens.
I want to reiterate just how extraordinary it is to see these two young juvenile American Bald Eagles flying over Lake Jacomo. Not just flying, but soaring. After the nest collapsed, they had to endure living on the ground or very close to it for 2-3 weeks before their flight feathers fully developed and were able to take flight. The parents stayed vigilant in keeping their offspring safe and fed for that time period. To see them soaring in the skies after such an ordeal is truly remarkable. They are the survivors of The Eagles at Lake Jacomo.
Cheers!

The entire video, with the exception of one small clip, has been slowed down to half the filming speed.
In this video, you will see:
0:00 juveniles flying together, practicing sparring with each other
1:07 landing practice
1:50 perched side by side / siblings
2:25 juveniles take flight again
3:37 food delivery form one of the parents. I believe it is J2, the male, a.k.a Dad. If you watch carefully, you can see after the adult lands that one of the juveniles comes in trying to take the fish from the adult but the fish drops to the ground. Then both juveniles fly down into the underbrush to where the fish ended up and you can see the adult descend in the last few seconds of the shot.
4:25 final shot of juvenile flying
