I was going to post something after Bob and I got home last night, but quite honestly, after spending the evening running all over campus, this old woman was tired. We met up with Bev and Peter behind the Education Building where we had been watching Froona and one of the boys. After a while, they flew off and didn't return for quite a while. Bev went travelling down to the more southern part of the main campus to see what / who she could see and was concerned that she could only see two juveniles. Bob, Peter and I were on the parkade roof next to the Ed Bldg. ... watching pigeons for a long time. We'd pretty much given up and came back down to ground when all of a sudden the three kids flew into view. They treated us to a show before heading off to the Newton Building. They did a little moving around and as we headed off for the night, all the kids were present and accounted for and at least one adult near by.
Bob and I were thrilled. It was the first time we'd seen all three kids fly. It seems like only yesterday they were nothing more than four piles of puffballs in the nest box.

I am playing catch up with pictures so I will give a brief description to remind you of the events
On Tuesday July28 at 9:05pm Peter saw Froona take her first flight to top of clinical science and then high and over to top of heart building, across from Newton apartments.(by helicopter pad)
On Wednesday July29 I watched her and then about noon she was scared off and nearly crashed but eventually made it to this balcony. She is so strong. These things cannot happen next year. She would have not missed a day of flight if she was not purposely scared off.
