I'm soooo glad they use the pen here. Those ledges are slippery. They are at least ready to go! :woohoo:

If they would astroturf some of these ledges, we wouldn't see these slips...Their feathers are ready...that's for sure...but, what about muscles?

Red getting ready to come out.

This was a fly by when Red was still on the ledge. Look between the bars.

We still have one in the box. I'll stick the recorder on the cam..but, my goodness, I'm behind schedule with my chores.!!

Your recording software is nifty-neato! So's the operator! Amazing how you got the beginning to the end of blue's, yellow's, and Red's flight, kind of slow motion. And Red's and Yellow's Oops! We appreciate it!

I'll be here for the next couple of hours. I'm back and forth trying to clean my kitchen.

Thanks Catwoman...its the latest version of CaptureWizPro...but, I don't like it as much as the older versions where I could advance frame by frame. Can't do that on this new one...so, I have to playback on slo-mo and record over that..then try to isolate frames..so annoying..I did contact them and asked for that back..ahahahaha..

Anyway, from my recording. #4 has fledged..but, I'm a tad confused..should be white tape..but, no white tape on this bird, so...will just need to wait for the official word on order of fledge..

Not as many pics..maybe she went straight off...no ledge pics...

She did have a leg out after this pic, as if to land...but, if she did, they weren't able to zoom to ledge fast enough.

Looks like they found their stash...my goodness!!

Be safe, you 4!!

Back to my outdoor chores..

They'll fill up on the stash and won't be able to fly until tomorrow! :egg6:

First updates have been posted. Sounds like everyone is OK!! As of the first report, it appears that Blue is currently MIA...though they saw where he went first.

Thanks for the info, SGB! Not surprising that White worked up the courage to take flight last, and he was the one with the most trouble. I hope Blue shows up before dark and I guess the watchers feel the same.

I see movement after the Trust (don't know what it is.)

As of approximately 11:30 am we have been able to positively identify all three fledglings (Red, Yellow, and Blue) in various locations within proximity to Riverfront.

At the time of this writing (12:00 pm) both Red and Blue are currently perched on the Towne Bank building. Yellow was the first bird detected this morning on the First National Bank Building. From there it flew towards the Bank of America building where it perched for about an hour prior to taking flight once more to a location out of staff view.

We’ve detected prey deliveries to all three juveniles thus far and will continue to provide updates as we have them.
