E26 is growing quick! Thermal down is taking over, pin feathers are peaking out and we have entered the “clown feet” stage. ☺️🦅 | Southwest Florida Eagle Cam

Did you know Bald Eagles take regular baths?! Bathing helps eagles keep their feathers clean and aligned for strong flight, cool off on warm days, wash away blood and bacteria after feeding, and remove parasites. Afterward, they preen to spread natural oils that waterproof their feathers. Fun fact: Eagles are considerate roommates! They often bathe before heading back to the nest—clean feathers help keep eaglets warm and healthy. | Southwest Florida Eagle Cam

E26 has officially hit the 30-day milestone — and wow! This eaglet is already leaps and bounds ahead of the benchmarks for this stage. Strong posture, confident movements, rapid growth, emerging pin feathers and that unmistakable eaglet attitude are all on full display.
