DANDRIDGE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- After growing up in the spotlight, the last two baby eagles at the American Eagle Foundation's Dandridge sanctuary are waiting to take flight.

The 14 week-old eaglets were released on Tuesday, but, as of late in the afternoon, had yet to take flight.

On Monday, the first of the three eaglets was sent on its way. The next day it was found perched in a tree across the lake.
