Taking Flight

The nest is getting crowded and sibling rivalry is strong. The little guy above (cellphone shot) was displaced last night. We put him in a faux nest we built, placing it  under the "Big House", as per instructions on the Net. He escaped and has been friskily hopping about today.

There's lots of loud squawking occurring, as I write. A sibling is now perched on a lower branch, getting ready to soar, perhaps. I ran in for my real camera, and he obliged me by waiting. Still, he sits there, emitting little chirps, and trying to gain confidence. Momma's doing a lot of flitting about.  Just gotta luv nature, especially when we're privy to the show!
