Myy at Satakunnan sääkset nest #3 is getting close to fledging. She's perfecting her helicopter hovers in anticipation of her first flight.

Slapping Nuppu with wings again. Out of the way, mom!

Up!

Higher!

Still staying in the nest.

An even higher hover from today.

Out of frame!

Ah, there she is.

High enough again that only her shadow is visible.

...And landing. Any day now, though. Or any moment!

Good job, baby!

Yes, yes, she'll fly when she's ready. No pressure.
