Yes, it didn’t take long at all for these youngsters to learn the ropes of flying around the buildings. They are still learning (a few slips here and there) but overall they’re doing well. Thank you!

I remember heart-stopping moments in the street with a fledgling on a car or slipping off a window ledge…these guys seem to have learned to fly immediately, zipping around the trees and buildings as if they had lived there forever. What gives? BTW, the first picture of Sadie’s shadow against the red of Bobst is simply stunning…if I were you I’d submit it to some NG contest or something! Best wishes – Rena
