We’ve got a thriving population where I live in Florida. The other day I was watching an adult train a youngster. They repeated the same flight pattern over and over again until the kid gave up and sort of crash landed into a tall pine. It took him/her several minutes to recover while the adult soared effortlessly around them. The kid finally got out of the tree and into flight again. They flew off. Training time must have been done. So cool to watch.
