Step Two

Middle is ready to fledge.

Out of nest onto branch

Back onto nest

Tree climbing

Back onto nest

Onto branch

Back onto nest

Back up the tree

Back into nest... feeding time

Papa has been trying to show kids there is an outside world

Runt still in nest. Lots of room for himself.  And personal food delivery for a change.

This was a fascinating fledge, not an assured flight, a real yoyo fledge, in-out, in-out, in-out, similar to when young hawks go branching.
