May 24: Day 35-37
In the past three days all three nestlings have fledged, beginning with short flights to
other branches in the nesting tree. Typical hatch weights are 35 grams (1.2 oz); they should now
weigh approximately 500 grams (1.1 lb). The fledglings are still fed in the nest
and they spend nights there, sleeping until mid-morning. They will remain in the nesting
area for another month, practicing their flying and hunting skills under their parents'
watch. Updates will continue...
