All primed up but no fledge yet

June 15, 2011 - Port Colborne - ADM Mill

Doug Garbutt Reports:

I’m surprised these young didn’t fledge today. They are in such good shape & so frisky that I thought they would have tried. Lots of flapping,  taunting each other also grooming until they have almost no downy feathers anywhere. It was a perfect day weatherwise for an attempt but neither of them took the opportunity. Perhaps they will try tommorrow (in the rain). I’ll keep you posted!
