http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9q00XqZEIs#ws By the 20th of April the nestlings were roaming the roof and ready to fledge. One of them attempted a short airborne hop but he miscalculated and it became his first city tour, complete with a rescue by the fire department from the top of the “Southern Fried Chicken” sign where you see him perched above.
The video is a compilation of his adventure from the roof to the rescue net. I love how the fireman waves at him and points to the sky as if to say, “Look up there. Don’t look at my net.”
The owlet was returned to his nest and later fledged successfully.
