Sometime late last night or early this morning the surviving nestling fledged to the rear of the nearby St. Cornelius Chapel. It spent the afternoon in the gutters of the chapel. The mother visited twice while I was there, bring prey on the second trip. Both parent made flights by the church to check on the fledgling.

It was great to see that the fledgling had safely made it off the nest. Fledge days can be dangerous, and thankfully this one wasn’t. May this fledgling have a safe and uneventful time this summer on the island.
