Pip, 7 hours after fledge – June 23, 2011

I and a few others had the great fortune of seeing Pip all safe and sound seven hours after her first flight from her nest.

Bobby and Violet were seen nearby so they are looking after her as the excellent parents they are.

Pip is expected to stay around Washington Square Park for the next couple of months until she is urged to find her own territory elsewhere. Here’s to Pip and her successful fledge off the nest!

In answer to the question of where she was located in this video, I won’t specify. I feel it’s more important to show people that she is safe and comfortable rather than post her precise coordinates. Safety first for our little Pip, just starting out on her own. 🙂
