RED TOOK HIS FIRST SHORT FLIGHT AROUND 7:25AM. AROUND TO ABERDEEN SIDE, CLUNG TO THE SIDE OF OUR BLDG, FLEW OFF TOWARDS MARKET, CIRCLED AROUND AND BACK TO THE LEDGE!

There is a similar situation in Mississauga, Ontario right now as far as the nest missing its resident female, who became injured and is in rehab, and the resident male left with a juvenile to raise but having to deal with a new female. This site's observers speculate that the first two juveniles who prematurely fledged (and didn't survive) were being harassed by this new female.

If you are interested, this observer describes the challenge the male is facing:

Just passed by the 'puter for a second to see a juvie hop from stick to box top. Who is that?

Susie A · **Posted:** Mon May 28, 2012 8:22 am

Wow!! He was hanging to the side of the wall, on the top ledge of the window, right above the bad door. Did someone get a picture of that by any chance?

Dad just came to the ledge. One chick was there, but I think the other one just flew up to the ledge?? Did anyone see?

Juvie is on the stick but prior to that there was another juvie? behind the scrape with what appeared to be "ledgeovers" at roughly 0840hrs

Lil Dad is atop the cam perch closest to the point at 0948hrs

Lil Dad is up on the Cam at the Point end of the legde. We have a Juvie on the stick! So sign of the other although he may be in hiding!

So good to see both boys have now fledged, so it won't be long now. Lil Dad had done an OUTSTANDING job in the last two weeks of raising them on his own!

I loved the attack video. Blue testing himself out. Hey I can do this for real when I'm older

The one on the stick just flew off screaming. Lil Dad stayed on the cam perch so must not be concerned.

And here comes one back from around the column, screaming and flew to the stick. Maybe the one that just flew off, simply flew to the far side of column?

Dad must be giving them their morning lessons. Nobody left on the ledge that I can see. So wonderful they are doing this well with their flying. Now for the rest of the job. Go L'il Dad! What a super good father! OK! Whoever just landed fairly gracefully on the end of the stick and is sitting looking around, wings slightly away from his body.

SusanE · **Posted:** Mon May 28, 2012 9:24 am

Lil Dad is on the cam perch, normangelo.

SusanE · **Posted:** Mon May 28, 2012 9:25 am

Second juvie just landed on the ledge!

SusanE · **Posted:** Mon May 28, 2012 9:27 am

Right before the landing, the one on the stick was flapping.

Then upon the 2nd one landing, the one from stick went running
