Moments after Brian and Gretta Mealey left the nest site, Hope made an appearance.  She flew around the nest tree, landing precariously on a top branch.  She perched there for awhile, during which time an adult delivered a large fish to the nest and then flew off.  Hope appeared to want to make it to the nest, however she left the tree and flew off to the south west, seemed to be circling around, but disappeared from view and was not spotted again.  I left soon after, relieved to know that she seems fine and is able to fly at least to the tops of the trees.  Know we will see how long it takes her to gain the skills necessary to land back in the nest!
