Immature Eagles at Highbanks

The young eagles have been active at Highbanks Metro Park!  When I arrived on the observation deck the other day, a couple was there who had seen two of the immature Bald Eagles in flight.

Just as they pointed one of the eagles (above), a second eagle took flight (see photo below).  The birds were quite loud, calling back and forth.  After a couple of minutes they settled out of sight, below us, closer to the river.  We saw them fly a couple of times and eventually an adult flew from the area and perched on a tree upstream from our position.  After a minute or two it flew off around the bend.
