July
Fledging
Eaglets spend 10-12 weeks on their nest, do all of their own “flight training”, and fledge from the nest on their own, gradually gaining strength and honing their flight skills over the next month or two.
Caption Page: Four Different Plumages
Young eagles go through four different plumages until they reach their sexually mature, adult plumage, which would be the fifth plumage type. These are (as described by Clark and Wheeler in Hawks of North America): Juvenile, White-belly I, White-belly II, and Adult transition plumages.
