Two Down, One To Go

Fifth Avenue has a second fledgling.  Both fledglings had been around the Levin Playground in the afternoon, with one sibling still on the nest.

I was only able to find one fledgling this evening.  It was being tag teamed by a number of Bluejays.  I think it got hit about ten times before the jays gave up.  What a first day in the real world!

No Rush

It seems the eyasses on Fifth Avenue are in no rush to leave the nest.  An afternoon watching them was very relaxed. 

There were only two brief moments of excitement.  First an eyass in a bid to steal food from its siblings ends up knocking it out of the nest with Pale Male diving after the food.  Then an eyass gets it foot stuck in some pigeon spikes.
