A bald eagle sits above a trio of eaglets in a nest tower on the southeast edge of the Great Salt Lake on Saturday. This was the second of three free tours hosted by The Division of Wildlife Resources to see the family of bald eagles — two adults and three, 9-week-old "eaglets." The final tour will be Monday, June 20, which Gov. Gary Herbert has declared as American Eagle Day in Utah.

Wildlife officials say there's a good chance viewers will be able to see the eaglets preparing to fly for the first time: dancing on their nest, beating their wings and making short "touch and go" flights between the nest and branches on the structure holding the nest.
