Solo fledged early this AM, was found grounded, was rescued, banded, determined to be male and was released later on in the day! Quite an eventful day for Solo!

No word on dad?

I read Dad will stay in rehab this weekend, have X-rays if needed then hopefully released sometime next week. Here's the blog with pics of Solo, how he got grounded plus his fledge video.

I'm surprised he fledged with mom right in the box. Strange one that Solo.

June 28:
 Solo has been very restless, attacking the camera and the opening at the south end of the box today. The weirdest behavior was a sort of 'slip n slide' action over the top of the egg and then rubbing and squirming on top of it. Very odd. I will be down at the gardens early tomorrow, hoping for fledge!  (he did)

Sunday Night Update
Everything is beginning to blur together. Solo has been picked up from the ground at least twice more today. I arrived about 7:45 this morning. Solo was perched on the very top of the West wing of JSMB. Mom was flying by over and over, probably to get him to try a flight. Shortly after that, he did, flying south and then east headed to land on some of the windows on the Zion's Bank bldg. Of course there is no place to land there, so he careened east above S. Temple and tried for the Admin Bldg. He touched the top edge and then drifted downward, not able to grab the ledge. He ended in the gar...den by the sidewalk. He was put back on the Beehive, where Mom encouraged him to move over to the North side and he eventually came down on a ledge and she delivered a pigeon. He ate and then rested there from about 11:00 and was still there when I left at 2:00. I called Bob later and he said Solo had attempted a flight again, landing over by the oval near the tall Church Office building. He again was put on the Beehive and was still there at 8:00 when I talked to Bob. Word on Dad/male adult is that there is no fractures to the wing but he will stay at rehab until he is completely well and not favoring that wing. For now, it appears he will not be around much to help out with Solo.

Rescued again
Still some white fluff

Solo is very handsome! Hope he does ok without dad.

Uh oh!  Just tweeted by the lady who does the blog:

@LizSchubert: Soap opera stuff. New male landed on nest box.  Mom went inside box and they vocalized a bit then flew off together this afternoon.

Looks like Solo got in trouble again!  How many times is this now??

I think this makes 5 or 6 times.  He fledged too soon, poor thing.

Just read on Twitter that 45 minutes ago, Solo hit the Key Bank Tower and is on the way to a rehabber.  Something strange is going on with him.

That is so sad! He left the nest too early but think by now he could fly better. Guess 7 strikes your out!
