DAY ONE FLEDGE WATCH DON MILLS/AMEXON :  And Sam fledged!! Before I got there lol. Arrived to find no one in sight. Oh oh. Bruce had arrived just before me and said hadn’t seen anyone. So he did a walk about and I kept an eye on the nest ledge and checked nearby rooftops and ledges. As Bruce was coming back, we both saw dad land on the CPPlan sign. Good! Seconds later I saw Sam pop up about midway down the building on a ledge beneath Dad!! Yayyyy, fledged and didn’t lose too much height. So we set up in the shade(another hot one) and watched him walk the ledge. Mom & Dad tried so hard to get him off that ledge. Bruce left around noon. I watched as the sun came around and slowly he was out of shade. But he stayed. Parents landed beside him, above him, flew repeatedly by him, encouraging him to get off that hot ledge. To no avail. Mom finally brought him food around 3pm. He tore into it lol. But still stayed. Sally and Bruce joined me around 430. I left shortly after to feed my pets. Of course a half hour after I left, he took a second flight, missed 150 and came back and landed one floor down from where he left! He got fed a few more times, beak fed by mom this time. And that’s where we left him at close. Hopefully he gets another flight in tomorrow before the bad weather arrives (rain and thunderstorms are in the forecast). But all in all, a good day!!
