This video from the USA says about itself:
Last Nestling Fledges from Cornell Hawks Nest!
June 13, 2013
After carefully considering the drop for the last few days, the third nestling from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology‘s Red-tailed Hawk (nicknamed “D3”) nest opened its wings and took flight at 8:07 P.M. on June 12, 2013.
The Cornell Lab writes about this video:
On June 13, the last Red-tailed Hawk nestling (nicknamed “D3”) remaining in the nest chose the last hour of evening light to take its first flight, launching purposefully into the air and disappearing from the camera’s view (watch the highlight). It took D3 a full week longer than its nestmates to take its first flight, and kept many viewers’ hearts fluttering as it flapped around the platform in the days leading up to fledging.

What a lovley thing to witness. We have nesting falcons in Manchester city centre at the moment. It looks like one has already flown and there is one left. There’s been a live feed of the nest since they were hatched. We were expecting them as they were here last year. http://m.ustream.tv/channel/livenest
