Soaring High On Riverside Drive

The Riverside Drive fledgling is really doing well at flying high.  On Monday evening, the fledgling flew to a building at 75th and Riverside Drive.  It got harassed by an American Kestrel and flew to another building roof.  Later, it flew back to its normal hunting grounds and caught a rat, which it eat on a tree limb above the playground.  (The video includes pictures of the rat being eaten.)
