Patti reports baby w orange rump has fledged (was it yellow or pink?) Wrong, it was just almost falling! 31 May 1030 I arrive at nest tree and find baby G (blk rump) on the ground. Patti saw him Fall out of the nest (he backed out while an adult was Feeding at the hole) So ,it does happen. Proof! And a horizontal hole! I put him on a nearby tree after measuring him but he Fell when he got to a vertical spot, so I took him. I think I'll do an experiment with him at Plge. (76 24 24 76.5 15.5 54.5 104) With a chord of 104 he's not ready to Fly. I rebanded him MTBP-W and repainted him blue orange on butt and Forehead white. I stuck him in the Plge nest at They Fed him at the hole like he was one of their own. 19 June 0845 Hello holes in 89 a tree - nada. * Group Update * 1616 or 1614 moved to PHF 890310 ± 1 M.
