One of juvies is branching

By golly I think it is K24

I think K24 did it willingly even though big Sis K27 was pushing him and nipping at his coat feathers abit ago.

I was busy at another nest when K24 ended off below the nest edge but I did record it so going to upload the footage now. There was some pushing and shoving going on just prior to his departure so not sure if he intended to branch there or whether he got a wee bit of help from K27.

BB with my video

Whatcha Doing Down There

625 pm
K24 is back in the nest....so glad to see him come
back to the nest thought he may need a food bribe but
he did it on his own woo hoo!!

Hi Debs, Nancy and Darlene..Love all the captures and posts here..i only read back a few pages..

AWW DEbs... The dear little K24 with a fish hook in his talons.. what a shame... it is not holding him back.. he did some awesome wingercising and lifts to..BLess his heart.. beautiful collage of him branching also.. thank you..

Bev Wonderful to see you here I know how busy you are at all your other nests...I know this nest and family is very near and dear to your heart too K24 has been doing very well despite his injury but we are all keeping a close eye on him just incase....

I reviewed the video....it looked to me that K24 hopped or branched off the nest on his own...without a push I think he need space from his two sisters




450 pm - K27 is in a playful mood wingercising and buggin her siblings; K24 hops or branches down off the nest

I had paused the video in places too as I was multitasking at West Va too so you may hear no audio at times
