E pulls up from the water without anything in it's talons...and continues to fly over the pond
and then lands on the other side of the pond.
(Excellent try E! )

Here is the video from March 12 that I delayed finishing because E12 fledged and we all were celebrating that event. Enjoy, you can see how ready E12 was that day.

:vid: VIDEO: https://youtu.be/BJ3sCgMd79g

Great Hovers & Flights To Branches The Morning Of E12's Afternoon Fledge 03-12-19

One could feel that E12 was ready to fledge but had not when we left after 11am. Both E's flew to branches in the tree with confident landings. E13 hovered high over the nest for an extended period while E12 hovered over many of the tree branches they perched at. E12 watched Harriet as she soared above in all directions, imprinting and instinctively knowing he/she will be doing that soon. M15 brought fish and Harriet brought grasses.

:eag: Thank you Vicki for posting this awesome video! :woohoo: ~Journi

:holdon: :eag: 4:41pm - A big gust of wind takes E12 for a little ride in the nest...and almost over the nest! :w00t:
The red dots show where E12's head is and the yellow dots show where it's tail is!

Head is down into the nest and the tail is straight up in the air! :hlp:
4919 441 e12 over 2.PNG
:hlp: Head is still down into the nest and the tail end is still up in the air...almost going over the nest! :donpan:
(Upon futher review, it looks like E12's left wing is what the wind caught at this point.)
4919 441p e12 over 3.PNG
Somehow, E12 turned it's body sideways and righted it's body so that now E12s head is pointing back
into the nest and it's tail is not seen since it's over the nest rail!

:eag: 6:11pm - Looks like there is a local Tuesday night duck meeting tonight and...
An E is over on the pond bank taking it all in!
;)

6:32pm - Another E (red dot) comes into view from the left and is chasing a duck...this chase looked
like the E almost got the duck!
:thumlft: (The other E is still over on the pond bank.)
4919 632p e over duck.PNG
6:32pm - The duck chasing E flew over to the other E and a scuffle started!
I believe the bird flying at the top right of scap is an adult or the other E.
(And...the ducks are still in their meeting...Looks like they went into small discussion groups...?) :yes:
;)
