When will they Fledge?

This is a very good question. Our 3 eyases hatched on 5/5, 5/6 and 5/7. The average from hatch to fledge is 42-44 days. So, going from the first hatch on 5/5, today is the 35th day since hatching. That means that they should start fledging around 6/16-6/18, which is next Tuesday-Thursday. Of course it's not an exact science and we know that the boys will probably fledge before the much larger/heavier Cadence (female).
Does someone want to check my math?

Shhh! Don't let them hear you Bonnie! There is definitely always the chance of an early or premature fledge.

You can also calculate a fledge date by comparing this year to last year.
Last year, the first egg was laid on April 8. This year it was March 27, a difference of 12 days.
Last year, the first egg hatched on May 17. This year it was May 5, a difference of 12 days.
Last year, the first eyas (a male) fledged on June 26. A difference of 12 days puts this year's first fledge on June 14.

I use a spreadsheet (my life is one huge spreadsheet)
hatch + 40 days + 45 days best guess hatch order
5/5/2015 6/14/2015 6/19/2015 Genesee
5/6/2015 6/15/2015 6/20/2015 Cadence
5/7/2015 6/16/2015 6/21/2015 Bronx

So we should probably start the "official fledge watch" on Saturday, June 13th.
