As previous posts have indicated it might be any day to see Junior fly... Well today it was... He/she finally took a flight out of the nest...

You captured a magical moment in nature. Thanx for posting. The only raptor I saw fledge was a Red Tailed Hawk. It crash landed up side down in a Pine Tree. It was hysterical. Gary

Thanks Gary,

Been waiting a long time... Junior has been flapping his/her wings for weeks... I go every couple of days with the camera and sometimes I get lucky... This was the first time I know of that he was flying away from the nest...

Mom and Dad have been away from the nest more and more lately... More than once I have seen the kid almost fall out of the nest while flapping it's wings...
Took a few weeks of flapping on his part and patience on my part...

Thanks as always for stopping by...

Thanks for the comment,

I guess it comes down to patience in many cases.... I have had plenty of time to work on my tan waiting for the kid to fly

I appreciate your visit
