Since then he has been away from the nest for a while every evening.
The other stork seems very agitated when he is left alone and I wondered why he didn't do as his sibling and go joy-flying around.
This morning, my time, evening his time, he flew. I don't know if it was his first flight, but it was an exciting moment for me.
I will let the following sequence of pictures tell the story:

Louis,
Great narration and picture. to see such a thing happen is the chance of a life time.
Now I remember making an observation of a pair of birds leaving the nest for the first time but forgot to post it for all to read. I think I will do it soon to share with you all the joy of seeing two birds leaving the nest with the parents egging them on.
Louis, I believe Elena would be happy that you are now watching this kind of 'bird' only. Enjoy it.
Such a beautiful sight.
And, in a way, the last picture is sad: this may be one of the last few times the siblings will settle in for the night together, won't it?
But, still, beautiful.
Zawi,
I am looking forward to your blog about those birds being persuaded to fly.
Hi Idrus,
You mean there's another kind of birds? I guess I'll have to go back to my Google dictionary :)
Thanks, Pat.
They don't show any sign of leaving. In fact last evening the mother continued bringing them food. I wonder where she stays, because she doesn't stay in that nest.
Simply delightful, Louis! I especially love "I'm back!" Storks are so intelligent and sensitive. The painted storks from our national zoo fly out to the highway and perch on the lampposts most of the day. In the evening, they fly back to the zoo for supper. And we call them "bird brain"?!?!?
Thanks, CO'78.
The storks at your National Zoo are very savvy.
My observation of those two storks confirms your characterization of them as "intelligent and sensitive". They are certainly very much aware of each other's space. They help each other preen and although they eat with gusto when their mother brings them food Ii have never seen them fight over it.
Hello.
Awesome pictures. May I join in your hopscotch. I saw amazing pictures of beautiful places.
