First Flight!

On a warm, breezy early evening the Osprey chick from the Natick Street nest got some air hopping a couple of times, and then...took it's first flight! After a short time perching on a branch lower down on the nest tree, it took wing one more time and returned to the nest. Shortly thereafter, its Mom returned to the nest with dinner.

Getting some air!	Look at me Mom!	My baby!	Look at you!
Mom takes to the air	Did my baby follow me?	Guess not...
Back at the nest, testing the wings again...		First flight!	I hope these wings work!
This is pretty cool!	First landing...	Getting my balance	I'm stable now...
		Enough of perching...let's fly some more!	I can fly!
