Above film recorded at 5pm on May 25th, *chick did NOT depart night of the 25th
This years CahowCam star: "Lighting" has had the benefit of both parents feeding him (or her) regularly and has therefore been one of the fastest growing chicks this year and now appears ready to fledge earlier than expected, possibly in the next few nights.
Last night our equipment suffered (but survived) the second lightning strike in the past 2 weeks and I have asked my daughter to more careful when picking a name next season.
