June 23 Update

Fledglings are so delightful! For the first couple of days they hunker down in a tree absorbing the vastness of their new world and being brought food by their parents. But now that they have had a few days to get used to being mobile they can’t get enough! They follow their parents, practice hunting, and chase their siblings. Today one particularly precocious young one even landed on Helen! We are lucky enough to have five new fledglings in the Valley, with two more freshly banded and getting ready to join them.
