Fledge watch 8-8/9-12
After some car trouble yesterday Donna and I were able to get back downtown for a fledge watch in the evening. Also watching were CarolP,Dana,Jeanne and KathyO. The entire watch was spent in the City Hall parking lot watching Orion play on the Frontier Communications tower(FCT). He could also be heard singing! What a voice on this kid!!! lol
And what a set of wings as well! He played on the platform, did some running on the railing and flap,flap,flapping all over the place. Dot.Ca was hanging out with Orion giving him a clinic on stooping as he made at least 7 attempts bringing food back with him after the last known stoop and Orion ended up eating on the platform too! Beauty spent the whole time over on the Kodak Office tower leaving Dot in charge of their son on this night.
We parted ways just before dusk ending another fledge watch on a high note as Orion is doing exceptionally well.
Fast forward to this morning as it would be the last look Donna would have before catching the train home. We found Orion on the north side railing of the Widows Walk.
After a few minutes there he went over to the west side of the railing before flying to FCT where we found him on the railing east side. Time was winding down before we would have to go to the train station and to send Donna off with a smile Orion started to sing as we were getting ready to leave. 🙂
