I'm feeling bummed. He apparently settled down for the night well before dark and we thought he had flow away somewhere, but when we got up this morning he was still in the tree, calling. Unfortunately, we had to leave town early this morning and are currently in Lone Pine having driven through Death Valley (my husband is running from Badwater to Mount Whitney in August and this was planned training and course recon). If he's still there and kicking when we get back, the only thing I can think of is to call the fire department. Our best guess is that he's fully feathered but not experienced at flying and afraid to come down. Since there was no wind yesterday, I doubt he blew up there, not 2/3 of the way up a 100' tree.
I tried searching for lost ads, but we are in such a heavily populated area it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
