[birdky] Olive Branch Eagle "show" today

First the two young bald eagles walked to the outer edge of their nest.  Then 
they spraddled their orange legs wide apart.  Their wings spread , and they 
ducked their heads.  Leaping approximately 5-6 inches up in the air and down, 
they repeated this routine three to four times. They sprang as if on a 
trampoline.  Then they disappeared into the bottem of the nest for a much 
needed and deserved rest as if to say, "that's all folks". 
 
I feel like they are my grandbirdies as I have observed this nest through the 
infamous ice storm, high winds, and torential rain.  Since Mother's Day is 
near, I wish all of you out there that feel ownership and motherly feelings to 
nesting birds a Happy Mother's Day.
