The youngsters will likely attempt their first flight around Memorial Day.

This year's egg hatched on April 27. The nest is deep however, you can get a glimpse of the baby's head bobbing back and forth as the mother and father feed it. After about 6 weeks the baby will be eating on his own.
It's quite interesting to watch.
