Fledging

Many thanks to urdognu for these two beautiful fledge videos:

I was surprised that Hope fledged first, as Honor has been much more active in branching for the last several days. There is some interesting opinion being voiced on the Facebook page:
The more I watch this footage, it seems as if E1 may have misjudged her hop to the porch branch and I believe that this may have been an accidental fledge.

After watching Hope take off, Honor takes the plunge too.

Hope has several crash landings throughout the day.

Here Hope ends up on the ground

it's not that easy to get off the ground!
