Finally this morning shortly after 6 Seneca left the nestbox and around noon she left the ledge beside the nestbox as well. She flapped her wings and gone she was. Wonder if she fledged, could not see her in the playpen.
The nestbox is empty, they have gone. But we will keep on following them of course!
A lot has happened in the past 24 hours. Diamante did fledge and Quest as well. Zephyr showed off his rapidly improving flight skills. Mariah was up on the High Falls stack keeping an eye on something. Quest was on a low building. She alternated between hopping around and letting the breeze fill her outstretched wings. She finally took off and did fly quite well.
The watchers found Suzie B on the ground. Not wounded fortunately. But she manouvred herself in a dangerous position so the watchers decided to get her out of there. And so they did.
She turned out to be tired, so they decided to release her from one of the Kodak buildings.
Not long afterwards they saw her fly away. So she was and is OK.
To read the whole story please go to Peregrinations of Jim Pisello. His pictures of the flegdlings are awesome!
