Static flight practice at the Eagle Nest

One of the eaglets is doing some vigorous wing practice. These are big "baby" eagles that are still in the nest but ready to fledge (or take flight). This is the eagle nest that we can see from our yard. The eaglet stands on the edge of the huge nest and just moves its wings vigorously. It looks like it is ready to go....It would be fun to see them fledge but once they take off from the nest, are they going to move away or stick around?
