Gotta Fly --- Now!

The eyasses are getting their feathers and wings ready! We're about a week and a half from first flight. Sometime around the weekend of June 21-22, the birds will start jumping out of the box onto the ledge below, exercising their wings. They'll see their mom and dad flying around and want to join them. Soon one of them will take the 22-story plunge and learn what their wings will do! Then it's on to hunting lessons!

What could possibly motivate them to take that 22-story plunge? Well, I'm sure that flying is a big thrill, but they don't know about that yet. Maybe it could be the condition of the nest box? I'm glad it's not over my front porch!

Gotta get out of here! This place is filthy!
