Wakati seems more interested in flight training than eating.

Congo is next to Harriet, Wakati reaches over in front of Congo to get a share of the fish.

It's a very peaceful feeding.


I'm going to leave them now.. They should be flying any day soon, maybe even today.

Mid morning has Wakati taking her first short flight away from the nest, to the perch. Her landing isn't as graceful as her parents but she gets it done.


10:17 am

She does this several times during the day.

Her first flight away from the nest is a bit more dramatic

She once again heads for the perch but this time she doesn't quite make it and is forced to fly off. She circled back about a minute later and failed her landing.

4:45 pm - She leaves from the nest but misjudges her landing on the perch.

Congo waits for her return

She's back but doesn't hit her mark on the perch.

Back to the fludge... She now has a bit of an issue as she's lower than the nest and has to figure out how to get out of this predicament.

Harriet eventually shows up and sees her offspring where she shouldn't be.

Harriet doesn't seem to concerned, Congo eventually lays down. Wakati has to figure this out on her own.
