Hi Denise! I don't think they can fly yet. I met another bird photographer who told me they won't fly till the end of June. The nest I photographed is very high up at the top of a large tree so I had to stand back at least 50 yards to get an angle which lets me see anything.
Thanks for taking the little monsters home, the noise (and smell) was starting to get on my nerves! :-)
Always a pleasure! They are so very cool looking. I have them at the Shore House, but, have not spent a lot of time there this season. They have more COVID than the DC area. Yikes.
Wow... how is the DC area in terms of covid? We are officially clear of it on Vancouver Island. No new cases since May 7th and zero active cases. I'm worried that we will get hit hard if it comes back in the fall and winter because not many people here have developed immunity to it.
It's so new, you really think people have developed much of an immunity to it? Just do the needful and keep your immune system healthy, making sure you have enough vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc and Elderberry. There are more and everyone has their view on it, but, I am pretty sure you are up on it all.
