At Fifth Avenue, it appeared another eyass had fledged, but I couldn’t be sure.  It looked like only the adult female and an eyass were on the nest this evening.  But I could only find Pale Male and a single fledgling in the park.

I know a sleeping eyass can hide completely from view on the nest, so I’m not sure if we had a second fledge for sure.  In any case, it was nice to see the fledgling on Cedar Hill.

A “benefit” of having a young fledgling in the park was that it was mobbed by birds.  The visitors included a Northern Flicker, Northern Cardinal, American Robin, Northern Mockingbird, House Finch and House Sparrow.

Update: It turns out the second fledgling had left the nest for sure when I took these photos.  The third eyass fledged on Thurdsay afternoon.

On Monday, I spent the day at the Fifth Avenue nest hoping to see a fledge but it just didn’t happen while I was there.  For about fifteen minutes, I thought there was a fledge, but it turned out just to be the adult female in a new spot and a hiding eyass.

Even without a fledge however, it was a wonderful day watching the nest and the first fledgling.

On Sunday, I got to see the first 2012 Fledgling of the Fifth Avenue nest, who left the nest on Friday.  It was hanging out in trees along Fifth Avenue, but then moved to a building window ledge.  It looked bewildered and stayed on the ledge for at least an hour to the delight of the apartment occupants.

I haven’t been to the Fifth Avenue nest for awhile.  The three fluff balls are now grown up and getting ready to fledge.  I arrived too late in the day to see much activity.  However, I did enjoy just watching three kids with their mother enjoying a nice Spring evening.

I made a brief visit to the Fifth Avenue nest on Friday afternoon.  The three adorable eyasses were there with their mother, who was offering shade to anyone who wanted it.

The three eyasses at the Fifth Avenue nest continue to be easier to see with each passing day.  Today, I got to see a visit by Pale Male and two feedings.
