SWFL Eagles ~ E26 STANDING TALL & WINGING At 30 Days Old! Hitting Milestones & Benchmarks ♥ 1.18.26

E26 is hitting all of its important milestones at 30 days old. E26 is able to stand tall & toe walk across the nest ( is still a bit wobbly but coordination is improving daily). E26 is winging more and gaining strength in flapping those large wings! E26's contour feathers are coming in and replacing the thermal down & pin feathers are seen sprouting on E26's wings. We have some beautiful closeups of E26 lying down and resting - amazing detail of E26's face! You can see the nictitating membrane slide across the eye - its purpose is to lubricate and keep the eye clean from debris & irritants. E26 is on its way to becoming an amazing juvenile eagle in just a few short weeks! Thank you for watching!

Elfruler does a section on " EAGLET DAILY PHOTOS AND MILESTONES" for each week of development. Be sure to check week 4 on the milestones for E26's progress! https://www.elfruler.com/?page_id=1610
