Fledged! Sitting quietly while the adults hovered nearby.



Just a day earlier the juvenile had still been in the nest, eagerly calling for more food to be delivered.

Note the strap in the bottom of the picture. Due to the efforts of Hank, Linda and Cindy the nest and nest tree had been secured several times after storms and high winds had threatened to destroy the nest completely. Unfortunately, one juvenile fell out during one of the initial storms leaving only one survivor.
