Although I am happy I was able to take a picture of it,the weather was terrible, there was virtually no light and night was falling.
Better luck next time with sunshine!
I finally saw today what I have been waiting for and that is one of the three chicks in the osprey nest I have been visiting finally discovered how to take its first flight. I cannot be positive it is the actual first flight but certainly one of the first. It was flapping its wings and it was quite windy and then it lifted up about 3 ft above the nest. The video is the only way to capture this. it is noisy from the wind and the traffic so you may want to turn your sound down. The osprey chirping can be heard.
So I got my hands on a DJI Phantom 3. I'm still really nervous flying but its a whole lot of fun. So, for now it will be small steps - I won't be letting the Phantom go too far away.
This is the first photo I've taken with the Phantom on a test flight and thought it turned out ok.

Hubbard Air Transport (HAT) was founded by Edward “Eddie” Hubbard in 1920 to operate mail services out of Seattle. Hubbard sold his share of HAT to Vernon C. Gorst in 1927, who renames it the Seattle-Victoria Air Mail Line, a title it will keep until July 1928 when chief pilot Percy Barnes purchases half interest and it is renamed Northwest Air Service. The first international air service continues until 31 December 1935.
Eddie Hubbard formed his own company and made a successful bid to carry mail from Seattle to Victoria. He began flying between the two cities on Oct 15, 1920, carrying from mail which was put on ships in Victoria for Hawaii, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand and Oriental ports. He also picked up U.S. mail that arrived in Victoria from the Far East. This service lasted until 1937.
