Zephyr is an apt name too. There’s no telling where she went since she had not been banded. Yes, we’ll always remember sweet Pip!

Do you remember, we were engaged in naming the young hawk, in 2011
I suggested Zephyr for the wind stream , he would soon be grabbing in his flight to the freedom of adulthood,
but Pip was chosen …we do not forget “the Pip”
Bobby remains w/ us ,Happy Fathers’ Day to Bobby and all the dads out there
Violet is no longer flying w/ her partner or in the community of hawks …do we know where Pip has
flown ?

Like Jeanne, I wonder what clicked in the little hawk’s mind, saying it was time to go. Thanks for sharing with us.

“Time to go ” and he seemed to disappear in his flight…
My heart took such a dip as off he flew to his New Foundland
Such a myriad of emotions…a bit sad in the goodbye and so proud of Bobby and Sadie,too.
Thanks Roger…I feel the same as when each of my own Chicks, so many years ago…took flight…
some sadness and such pride at their courage.

Pip’s fledge really was one of the most memorable and momentous events over the last several years. Cheers!

It was around 8:40PM when Sadie brought out a huge meal from the nest and toward where the fledgling flew. So I’m hoping she was bringing it to the fledgling to eat. The babies always stay within a block of (or in) the park at first so I’m optimistic.

I remember when Pip fledged. It was bitter but it was sweet. Good luck Little One!
