Just saw one fly down from the window to the right at 8:45 am Sat. 7/31.  That is very close to fledging I think.
  Hope they come back a few times after they fly the coop.  These are the last babies of summer 2021, and most of us are another year older today. I am sad. LOL

Was anyone able to get a shot of the one on the ground or was it just mentioned somewhere?  Fly well little one.

At about noon today, there were 2 vultures in the nest area. Guessing that it is one chick and one adult.  The same two appear to be there from 11 hours ago, when the rewind ends. Right after the pic, the camera "blinks" and it's a bare nest from then to posting time.

No message saying "Highlights" but I do not follow this camera regularly.
Good to read that one chick has fledged.  Hope that both are safe and have long lives! And that the parents come back next year.

Oooops saw that and thought it was on the edge of the loft.  Upon looking closer realize it's not.  Thanks gals!
