YOUNG EAGLES GROWING UP FAST – Young eagles are among the fastest growing birds. A healthy chick could weigh as much as 9 pounds at 6 weeks old. MDC videographer Kevin Muenks captured video of these three young bald eagles with their parent on a nest along the Gasconade River in central Missouri.
Before they "fledge" or leave the nest for the first time, young eagles remain as "nestlings" for 10 to 12 weeks. That is how long it takes for them to become fully feathered enough to fly and large enough to begin hunting for prey. Only 50% of young survive the first year of life.
