There is good news from downtown Seattle. The young female was released on her home "cliff"–-the Washington Mutual Tower–-late in the afternoon on July 12th. She flew almost immediately and appeared strong as she cut into the wind. Since she was in a large flight cage at the rehab center, with lots of room for exercise, we expected she would look good, and she did.
The following day, there was lots of activity around the tower that appeared typical for a fledgling and its parents. It is much more difficult to keep track of a single youngster than 3 or 4, but we will post updates on her as we get observations.
