NE was alert and ready to go. He jumped out of the arms of Lisa Barlow up onto the perch. After a few seconds to look about and see where he was he launched, turned to his left and flew low but gaining height and crossed the Rose Garden and flew toward his nest tree about 500 yards away. NBG staff had been placed to stop foot traffic for a few minutes so that he would have a clear flight path. Could not have been a better release. Perfect! – Photos – Reese F Lukei Jr
