Bruce Massey Reports:
Its been a very busy couple of days and I can only recap and high light the events.
the young juvenile Female has gained allot of strength & lost most of her fluffy white down. She continues to be very aggressive with her now flighted brother and robs him of food when ever she can. he has learned to take the food from his parents and fly off to a safe spot from his yet to fledge sister where he can eat it without having her steel it from him. He is flying great, with good landings and starting to chase his parents around with incredible skill!
His younger unfledged sister is now doing laps all around the ledge of the building, and although un-flighted, she had been a handfull to find her. The nest ledge level runs completely around the entire building and although she is not flighted as yet, she has learned that she can keep everyone in view by moving around the entire building on the ledge.
