Hard to tell who is the adult here. Babies are so huge & gorgeous!
Ty for sharing!

Do they still sleep in nest? Guessing they sleep in trees, but never had the privilege of knowing/ observing these magnificent creatures.

maybe 'around the neighborhood!'
No doubt!
Awesome they have such freedom to, well...branch surf. Lol
Have you seen babies fishing yet?

(141,926 posts)6. No, haven't seen kids fishing, but neither have I caught adults fishing;
my point of view doesn't enable it. Do occasionally see adults flying above, from river toward the creek.
Past years, I've caught them eating on one of the trees in/around my yard.
