I think that she has fledged. Don't see her on the ledge and the camera is pointing at this bird on the building.

Is that Her?

I had to go out for a while but I left the cam up in hopes of seeing her leave on the stills when I got back, but no.

Yep, that's got to be her.

Yes, I saw that. It was a nice strong takeoff. But how long has that stream button been there?? I must be blind as a bat, as I have never noticed it. :girlcrazy:

WHAT A DAY! :7val:

Wednesday June 16, 2016 - Falconwatch coordinator Corin Schneider reports: The wait is over! Ancaster took her first flight today! After an early feeding at 05:39 she continuously exercised her wings, preparing for the big moment, often right on the edge of the ledge. At 09:31 she took off and flew for the first time, bringing happy yells from one of the volunteers and yours truly!

ImageImage

Ancaster flew gracefully and landed on the Stelco building, staying for ten minutes, then took off and made two complete circuits around the Fairclough building before landing on its north-west corner. I was amazed by how smoothly Ancaster could fly. If you didn’t know, it would have been almost impossible to tell it was her first flight. I'm sure she was thrilled by her success as she immediately jumped, flapped and walked along the Fairclough roof edge and railings, allowing me to take these pictures. Lily and Ossie seemed exhilarated too as they flew around Fairclough several times throughout the day. When Ancaster flew again at 10:52 Lily and Ossie joined her in seconds and escorted her to a very smooth landing on the west Fairclough roof.

At 13:55 Lily dropped off a pigeon and Ancaster plucked and ate it by herself. Afterwards, she "pancaked" on the corner for a welcome rest. There were two more feedings later in the day - I suppose food was her prize after her impressive first flight success. Ancaster stayed on the north-west corner of Fairclough for the remainder of the day, perhaps reflecting on her accomplishments and enjoying the new view!
