Toronto - Sheraton Centre

!!! Preening and Preening

May 31, 2009 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Linda Woods Reports:

Now that the Sheraton 4 are banded, now all we have to do is wait until they are ready to fly.

Today, the four were busy preening and preening, picking off the downy white fluff. 

I estimate that a watch for juvenile first flights, should  begin sometime around June 6th. 

 Males generally take first flight between 36 - 40 days of age.

Females take first flight at 38 - 42 days of age.  The older the better
