TE3 fledged this morning at 7:02 AM nest time when she made a short flight from the nest tree to the cam tree next door! It was just what we like to picture when we picture a fledge: a lovely, controlled flight, a good landing, and a quick flight back to her nest. She spent the day exploring, flying, branching, and discovering her wonderful wings. So that's what these things are for!

A hat tip to everyone yesterday that suggested she was waiting to get her first flight just right. She sure did! Congratulations to TE3, super Mom Mrs. T., and even to Mr. T for showing up to check out the fledge-u-lation! Way to go, TE3! 🦅🥳🤗

And so her adventure begins...
