We usually see them glide off of a branch or the nest then gain altitude. It's always impressive to see them go straight up. You really get to see how powerful those wings are. I saw the eagles do this once last year in the DC nest when there was a threat flying around.

4"12pm MT

2 adult shave been on nest for 5 minutes and then they started calling. this time I saw why. the juvenile tried to fly in, bu they scared it off

I have to go out but my cam is running so I will post photos and video when I come home

they are calling again just by size today, I figured it was a female but young . they can be pesky, if they want some feeding. we had quite a few at Berry, cross your fingers , they stay away now.
