Eyeing Eaglets My, what big wings they have! The wings will be 6 feet across before these kids even leave the nest!

They are big enough to carry the weight of the eagle plus a large fish! Next >> This Season Teachers Kids Orientation Registration Search Copyright 1997-2008 Journey North. All Rights Reserved.
