streeeeeeetch.  sure seems like she want to go to the outer ledge, but just can't get up the courage.  kinda like me as a kid from the high-dive board.

okay, lightening up from a nap, decided to pluck some feathers out of her food in the near corner, does seem to be a pretty intact bird.  plucking, spitting feathers not sure if she is getting any food yet or not.  lol

From what I have seen of Lightning this morning, she still prefers that mom or dad feed her; she is not that keen on plucking the unlucky victim herself and then chowing down.  So, she now has food lying around the nest.  Mind you, she will fight for the food if she thinks the others want it.  This reminds me of my dog, who may not want her food, but she does not want any other dog to have it, either.  The more I watch the falcons, the more I see the similarities between them and our four-legged companions.

okay,, I was sure she was going to jump on that near bar, if she does she will be gone from view probably for good.

No I don't think he got it, it's still laying in the upper portion of the view.

Wow what a tug of war between Dad and Lightning, she sure put the feathers to him when he came back in.  "You gave it to me and no you can't have it back!"

did he?  I missed that,  explains why she shut up and is now on the ledge preening. lol 
yep - she was standing there and not doing what he wanted, and he jumped in and took it back - probably to deliver to more appreciative kids elsewhere.  ;)

Oh dear - that one wasn't quite dead yet either.  Perhaps dad is working to teach her how to hunt before she flies.  There sure is a lot of turn-your-head-sideways-and-screech going on.

I wont comment on this thread about it, just wanted you to know in case some of you  on this thread were not aware that she has started blogging about what she has been up to!   
There is like 45 people or more on the forum right now.  lol
