One is flying now.
The other can fly *some*
July 18, 2025
Flyer came home overnite.
5 am One flies off to the right, the other jump-flies up to box roof.

ONE LEFT
July 17, 2025
About 6 pm July 16th I saw one juvie outside down on the curb.
The strong wind nearly blew him off the curb - twice.
He sort of climbed to regain the curb.

Overnite Mom stayed with the one who never left the box yesterday.

5.30 am He flew up onto the box roof, then down onto cement building curb.
Yeah- the other one either fledged or blew off yesterday. He was flying a little, so should be OK.
