Visiting with the Eaglets on Juneteenth

It's been very hot in Connecticut for the past week with temps in the 90's and of course our summer humidity is with us as well. With this weather comes the afternoon thunderstorms and the Eaglets are more than likely getting some of their first drinks of water in a while. The eaglets seen in this video are approximately 8 weeks old and are 2-3 weeks minimum away from attempting their first flights. Of course this is based on an average of 75-80 days old for their first flight but their are over-achievers and of course under-achievers in our Connecticut "Congress". Yes, a large group of Bald Eagles is called a Congress!
