Ok, this is probably the last pictures I will post because the chick is no
longer changing in appearance and I finally was able to get some flying
pictures the last two days. Its forays into the sky are already getting a
little longer. Still not strong enough to leave yet I don't think. Yesterday
I
saw it's longest and highest spin around the skies above the yard I had
seen yet. It was fun to watch this bird grow up and now it is starting to
perform some maneuvers in the sky testing its wings. I actually think we saw
it catch an insect yesterday afternoon while flying around.

Yesterday afternoon I spent a few minutes on the Smith Point Hawk Tower
with Tony and the Magnificent Frigatebird flight was worth the price of
admission. Below are a couple of pictures of the Frigatebird's and the first of
numerous Ruby-throated Hummingbird pictures for the migration. We are up to
maybe 12-15 here best I can tell. Nothing but RtHu so far.
