A few shots of Noelle on her first flight-- she took off at 8:00 pm 4 Apr 2011, age 58 days. She went from perch to ground, over fence to ground, then to fence, to arbor, to outside camera, and then to high roof of neighbor's house. One of the parents was with her or close by a lot of the time (as observed by Jill & Gary).
