First flight

This morning, at about 10:00, I heard incredible shrieks outside the lobby.  I went out and looked up at the tops of the elms in our courtyard, and saw four birds of prey circling between the two trees.  Two were smaller and less skillful in flight.  Apparently the resident falcon family had decided it was time to launch out of the nest!  The parents glided from tree to tree and called out to the youngsters, the young called back and flapped rapidly after them.


I love working here.
