MY BOY IS HOME!!!  Not only did he survive the night but he flew home to the rooftop to his sibs in one of the most spectacular flights I've ever seen a juvie make!!  Dad saw him coming and came up and helped him out and he made it home!!  Mom is now beak feeding him his second pigeon since he's back ...2 in 30 minutes!!!  I was literally jumping up and down and screaming in the street  ;D ;D ;D ;D

More to come, have to get back out there!

Don't panic, we have fledglings that do that too and they are 9 times out of 10 back on/near the nest the next morning.  I've been watching our cam late night the last few nights and our birds' days begin around 3:30 am so he has lots of time to get himself up and trying again in the quiet part of the day.  When our birds have had a scary flight, they will just find a spot and hang-out for a couple of days - Mom & Dad will find and feed them until such time as they try again.

And fledglings are gliders for the first week, sometimes longer, so not being to gain altitude is standard for them - vertical flight takes skill and strength that the young birds just don't have.  Fortunately they don't know that so they keep trying.  Think postively that tomorrow morning he will be parked somewhere visible ...

Mackenzie is missing now.  He hit the glass building again last night and come down across traffic and landed on the sidewalk.  We rescued him and he was put up on the building at dusk. He was supposed to stay there like they usually do at that time but he panicked and flew off into the dark...we tried to find him but it was dark.  He's not doing well and can't seem to maintain altitude so I'm quite worried now.  I'm going out early to search for him. 

The other two are doing well, Perry of course has had no problems so far.  Elena did well yesterday and mom got her to fly to the ledge last night, of course she flew to the wrong one but at least she got off the roof and she was quite pleased with herself!

Glad to hear that "the kids" are doing well. And dad sounds awesome. Someone needs to get a video of his acrobatics.  ;D
