I saw on your forum how you phoned people in Columbus to go out and look for him after he went backwards over the edge. That was a wonderful thing to do.

I just love this pair...Apollo's tumble was a shock...but he was able to recover and a Cleveland forum member had gotten some awesome aerial pics of him...so his death was such a shock...
Yes, I'm afraid I drove Donna Daniels crazy this past week, flooding her emails...plus I was very lucky to be in touch, by phone, with some of the watchers on the ground...I think that is the only way to do it with this nest...watchers can't see the ledge and cam watchers can't see the ground...so it was a good system...I was fortunate to see the fledges...then I could call the watchers...it was fun....

Just a quick update....The sad news of Apollos death has really rattled all of us...he was such a spunky little guy...and we had reports of strong flying...so his death is a mystery...drowning...I'm sure there is more to it than that, but I'm sure we will never know what happened......
Well, the girls have all fledged...

Jet's Fledge, June 11th: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQqGwImNymw
I believe Eclipse snuck out on us very early June 11th....as none of us (cam watchers and watchers on the ground) Saw her go...All 3 girls were accounted for Friday Evening...no report yet from today...
Pam:
Sad news, indeed. I saw him go off the ledge - it really did look accidental, especially as compared to Aerial's fledge yesterday.
Moonstar:
So sad about Apollo. When I read news like that I want to stop watching because I get so upset. I know it is life and sometimes crap happens. Also I read that Apollos fledge was accidental. He did not mean to fly off. He went off backwards. I hope the other three make it.
