We then walked up to sharp shinned Hawk nest and saw one of the youngsters take its first flight.  Fully feathered but tail short & down still evident on top of head & breast.  They have developed fast.  When we took them from the nest on the 18th they were all downy white but wing & tail quills barely showing.  On the 24th when we killed the two captives a few breast & back feathers showed & wing & tail quills half developed.  Today one of those in the nest could fly & was fully feathered out except for length of tail.
