  • A juvenile bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) sits on a branch over its nest. Nearly eight weeks old, this eaglet repeatedly climbed to this branch and then jumped down and glided into the nest, several feet below. A little over one week later, this eaglet made its first flight.

  • A developmental feather from a very young bald eage (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) lies on the ground beneath the eaglet's nest. The eaglet that this feather was from began flying shortly after it was two months old. This was one of the last developmental feathers before it flew.

  • A juvenile bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), approximately seven weeks old, adjusts its flight feathers from the edge of its nest. Less than two weeks later, this eaglet made its first flight.

  • A bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) breaks off a morsel of food and feeds it to one of its eaglets on its nest in Kirkland, Washington. The young eaglet is approximately five weeks old in this image.

  • A bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) fledgling prepares for its first flight by sitting at the end of its nest. Earlier, the eaglet tested its wings. Some of its down is visible, stuck in the branch behind its head.

  • Two bald eagle chicks, estimated to be about a week and a half old, share a nest. The eaglets are in the process of replacing their natal down with thermal down, a process that begins at about 10 days of age. They are hatched with natal down, a light-colored down that has little insulating ability. After its replaced with thermal down, which occurs at about 15 days of age, the eaglets are able to regulate their body temperature on their own.

  • A bald eagle chick (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), estimated to be about 10 days old, flaps one of its wings in its nest in Heritage Park, Kirkland, Washington. Eaglets are hatched with a coat of light-colored natal down, which has little insulating ability. After 10 days, the natal down begins to be replaced by thermal down. That transition is beginning to take place with this chick. Its wings and chest are covered with thermal down; its head and back are still covered with natal down. The change is typically complete by age 15 days, when the eaglets are able to regulate their body temperature on their own.

  • A bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) fledgling flies in an awkward fashion on one of its first flights from the nest. Most eaglets fledge at about 12 weeks of age.

  • A young bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), approximately six weeks of age, begins to outgrow its nest. The bald eagle chick spent three more weeks sitting on the edge of the nest and testing its wings before it took its first flight.

  • A feather from a very young bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) lies on the ground beneath the bird's nest. This was one of the bird's early development feathers and was eventually replaced by flight feathers.

  • Two juvenile bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), approximately seven weeks old, sit together on their nest in Heritage Park, Kirkland, Washington.

  • Two juvenile bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) sit together on their nest in Puyallup, Washington. While young bald eagles are nearly as big as their parents by the time they are two months old, they do not develop their distinctive white heads until they are four or five years old.

  • A bald eagle chick (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) that is just over one month old tests its wings while sitting on the nest. It spent several more weeks flapping its wings on the nest, standing at the edge of the nest, and climbing onto branches before it made its first flight.

  • Flight feathers begin to grow on the back of a juvenile bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). Feathers begin to grow on bald eagle chicks by the time they are 27 days old. The dark feathers grow in tracts, starting with their head and back.
