THANK YOU Terry for your undying enthusiam and work for Fledgefest! I hope everybody has a stellar time and I'll be checking in to read and see all the reports from the attendees.

I am extremely grateful it's not being held here in very, very toasty Ontario! I hope you have a great weather day too. Ohhhhhh Sandra I just read yours, great weather day people! Be very, very grateful that it's cool out I'd pay large to have it.

Beautiful shots Capo I hope you get some like that of our beloved Solo today!!

Hi 4voyage Would it be too much to ask for you to repost them here?

Good morning!!! A cool cloudy day in Lillooet. hope it will be nice and sunny for you at the Fest. Enjoy!!!!

I'm going to help 4Vpuage post links to his adventures and photos since arriving in sidney and visiting the nest! I've done individual posts rather than have you scroll through the whole thread looking.

Beginning of Journery

Step Two
I'm interested in knowing from the regular nest visitors, if "our" eagles go to this location (Near the airport. Description of area in the post) and if this could be one of them, or if there is another nest close by.


Sunday's vist After this, skip one post to see more.
Sunday continued
Two pictures of Solo flying

Lori - 4Voyage should be at the fence now!!!! He is one of our members from Texas! Hope the links I put above will be okay without copying the whole posts here

Great job Velma--
I had PM'd 4voyage to ask him if he'd like me to help make some links--
you did a much better job than I would have done!!
Beautiful job, Velma! Thanks!

yvw!!!! 4voyage had emailed me to see if I could help. I was glad to oblige!

HAPPY FLEDGEFEST DAY

About 10 minutes ago, I heard lots of calling (both adult and juvie ) so the Fledgefesters must be arriving

Oh--just heard one beep from a car horn too

All I have is the rainbow connection so can't see a thing

10:11 am
I don't hear solo on or near the nest!
The sparrows and other birds are well in evidence - suggesting empty nest!
The Fledge Festers are very quiet - some should be at the fence by now!!

ETA:
I see that Skipper heard them - I had better put my ear on!!

Hi, Pat I think so -- isn't the official "start" time 10:30 a.m. :question:

Edited to add:

It's incredible to think that this is the 5th Sidney Eagle season and Solo is one of 10 Sidney eaglets soaring the skies. Wow!!!!

Edited to add at 10:20 a.m.

TWO car horn beeps
