It wasn't graceful..she swiped the TS building and went DOWN, not up!
Sounds like a pretty standard fledging flight, if you ask me... Good work Callidora! I guess she did a great job, just looked scary from the cam. And the watchers were right...B&A wanted them to go to Wilder...(back to work)

It can be hard to tell at a distance. Juvie feathers are brown & beige. Adults are dark grey & white-though Beauty's chest is more peach colored than pure white. Juvie belly feathers are streaked vertically, adults horizontally.
Don't have time right now to post comparison pictures...

They will gradually show more yellow as they approach 1 year of age. At that point they will be molting into their adult feathers and will have an adult yellow cere & beak. Assuming Jemison is a male as we suspect, his beak & cere-as well as his legs-will likely be a deeper & brighter yellow than Callidora.
