McKenzie Seeds - 2012 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
RCF:
As of 4pm, both boys were on the McKenzie roof, one on the northwest corner and the other was on the very top of the flat roof, both were napping by the looks of it. :) I was two blocks away when I took the pics because you had to move far enough away to see the one kid on the roof top.

Yup. Girls got more "baking" to do before they fly. Sometimes its just a couple of days, sometimes a week. Sometimes the boys go early and the girls are left behind for a long time, sometimes the boys hang out and fledge later so the delay between the sexes is smaller. Often can depend on the family group and their dynamics. There are no hard and fast dates for fledging. Maya is only 41 days old, which is still in the male end of the fledging date range. Don't suspect she'll be hanging around much longer though - she's small and her brothers and parents are nearby and though she's pretty comfortable on her own, none of them like to be far away at this stage.

Thanks Rose for all the updates.

The light is flat which makes it even harder ... this is one of her favourite spots to sit so I try to check it when I tour around the roof ...
