Holy moly! Elizabeth just up and jumped/flew almost to the top of the WA! WOW...that came out of nowhere, too. She made it to just below the cam itself.



She hung on up there for a few seconds before coming back down to the CU.

Good afternoon Hornby!

Ya wanna see the video that made my heart stop for a second this morning? Okie dokie...Paintnut was recording.

Monday, July 16, 2012 @ 10:13AM Elizabeth attempts to make it to the WA

The heart stopping action begins at 3:30 into the video.

Thanks Paintnut!

Elizabeth is going to make it to the top of the stump if screeping will do it. She's just a flappin' and screepin' all over the nest. She keeps eyeballing the stump too.

The blur you see is Elizabeth getting some serious air...



I'm trying to keep one eye here and one eye on the little stinker...and the s'cappin' finger ready. I'm really not that talented!

Good evening Hornby!!! Well, I have been trying to get on for about an hour now, but my laptop is acting up, so here I am on the desktop!

Thanks for the great video beans. Elizabeth was up up and close to away!
Nightowl, ya think if she screeches loud enough she will make it to the stump? Thanks for your terrific s'caps as usual!

Now that I am here, she is very quiet........ There are people close by visiting. The little stinker is probably getting her beauty rest after a busy flapping, hopping, getting the air-thing-going, day.

Hey Jill!

Yep, it's been pretty quiet on the nest today, except when she tried to give me a heart attack.

I have trouble with the forum sometimes...I refresh and the circle keeps going...and going...and going..till I finally hit the 'X' up there to stop it.

7:47PM The little stinker is up and looking around from the balcony right now. Now that she's had a nap, I bet she tries for either the WA or the stump again. Uh oh...she's eyeballing the stump again!

OH...I read in chat earlier, that Elizabeth has had 5 fishies today, including one from Pa, who did fly by food drop...without slowing down.

I haven't been watching - or listening - but I do know some eaglets whom I suspect could fly by voice-power alone - and it's sounding as if Elizabeth may be joining that select company! Lovely pictures of her way up high - thank you!

Hey JudyB!

Yep, those little hissy fits sure help! Hope had the biggest hissy fits I've ever seen, with Alexandra a close second. David was the quiet one, and it took him a while to leave. I think Elizabeth falls in between Alexandra and David as far as being vocal. I think once Elizabeth gets going though, she's going to be unstoppable. She's just taking her time to figure things out.

Maybe I'm prejudiced, but I think Hornby produces the most vocal chicklets. OK, maybe not the most vocal, but definitely the loudest.
