[xtinder]

So funny watching her jump back and forth like she was trying to get her confidence up to take off. Great work on capturing the video and as so many have said Thanks for posting it for us to see. What program are you using to capture the videos, if you dont mind me asking?

[maamto2]

I to am suffering from Empty Nest but still visit to see her in the tree.  My husband laughs when I "OH!" or "OOOOO!" or gasp. But he's here with me the whole time.

Thank you for capturing this wonderful moment!

[miscflydragonfly]

Thank you for capturing this video!!! I'm suffering from Empty Nest Syncrome, as I've watched daily since an egg. Now Eaglet is soaring as she should.....like an Eagle. Live long!

[LabAlliance]

She is magnificent! I have followed her from eggship, too. (Also followed the pair of eaglets from last year's hatch.) Actually got teary eyed as she soared off and away from the cross-beam. Many thanks for posting this marvelous clip!

I've been watching her since she was an egg! I was on-line early, but got busy and missed her flight! Yes, I'll get "Empty Nest Syndrome" too, I have been so used to watching her every day! Kudos to you for recording her flights and posting here for us all to enjoy! :)

[shadowsofwar894]

[redhippiefiddle]

Just wanted to say thank you. I've been watching her grow since she first hatched! So happy you shared this video.

[JeepRuby101]

I've watched this video since Sooner hatched. I'm sad I missed the flight, but that you so much for capturing it!

[grinnbarrett48]

Thanks so much for this video. I too have watched for weeks as the little one grew. This 10-minute video is so rewarding, after thinking I would forever miss the flight. Wow! Fly like an eagle young Sooner.

[peacemlalove]

Thank you Adam at Sutton website for posting this was here. How breathtaking to finally see her take flight! I've been watching since she was small and I missed takeoff this morning. Great capture of video greencashew.  :o))

Thank you so much for posting this and all of the other videos as well. I have been watching the baby grow everyday. I will miss her. I like the comment from greencashew "Be brave little Sooner ... fly free and be fruitful"

[desertcafe]

Bravo. Wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this. I've been watching her since she was a gangly, floppy baby but, like most of us, missed her first flight.

[singblue3]

Thank you, Thank you... I was sad that I missed it. Bittersweet.... Like others have said, I'm going to miss her... Thank you for capturing it and sharing it with us.

[greencashew]

I am glad you all enjoyed.. I have over 15gigs of video a recorded every other day from egg to fledge ... So watch for my next video.. "Sooner grows up in 10 minutes"

Be brave Little Sooner.. fly free and be fruitful..

Take Care all... Sir Lance/CLC

[backache60]

I don't know who you are, but you must have so much heart and passion. Thank you again for allowing all of us to experience her first flight.

[725patsfan]

THANKS to who ever caught the flyoff. been watching this Eaglet every day too- and knew the fly off was going to be soon. Is that the Eaglet in the tree? Miss it already. Be Safe Little Eaglet! until the next hatching bye!

[CRAFTYPTOO]

I've watched you grow since March & I'll miss you!

Fly Like an Eagle and GODSPEED

[backache60]

I wonder how many of us will have the "empyt nest syndrome"? Sad and happy at the same time. What a ride it has been.

[roz59]

My family, friends, and I have been watching since she hatched...this has been so exciting & priceless to watch <3

Thank you for the great video!

[backache60]

Thank you for sharing this moment. It was wonderful to see the flight to freedom. Now back to work I will go!

[rxsandee]

I have been watching and waiting, We have been watching even at work ( Karen) She texted me this morning and I am so happy it was caught on tape for everyone to see.

[terriandsteve]

I thank you for recording the eaglet's fledge. I have been watching and waiting for weeks, and I knew I would most likely miss it live. A person has to sleep sometime..lol

Have a wonderful life, baby eaglet.

I miss you already.

[CRAFTYPTOO]

I'll miss you but.......

Fly Like An Eagle & GODSPEED

[pennyfour3]

Thanks for the view. Like everyone else,

I've been watching and watching and I knew she was ready to go. God Speed, be safe.

[jeffdes1975]

I am sorry to see the little guy go but now my productivity at work will probably increase 300%

[SabineandJuna]

[heikepk]

[fekphotography]

Thank you so much for posting the eaglets first flight. I was so bummed out when I pulled up the webcam early this morning, only to find out I missed the big event.

[Fishhunter98]

Ditto .... thanks for recording and sharing this video ..I also have been watching since the first egg was laid,I will be watching next year too.... totally amazing!

[RaymondTeller]

I am so happy someone caught this on tape. I was urging him to jump and fly for so long now . . .

[thecatatemyhomework]

Bye, JJ. Have a good life!!

[Willow2567]

Thanks so much for this recording. I have been watching this Eaglet for quite a while. Wonderful to see this first flight. It will be interesting to see if it comes back to the nest to feed for a week or so.

Thanks again!
