[How old ddo you think this bald eagle is]

Thanks Trevor and Avery

[How old ddo you think this bald eagle is]

Near Tampa. The 2 eaglets had gone for a flight and parents were not around. This non-family eagle flew near the nest. That brought both parents back to the nest where they remained vigilent for 20 minutes before leaving the nest area to go about their business.
