She flew to the nest to find it empty, she circled the nest, then the tree, then to the bottom of the tree where Shelby flew to. After checking out the empty nest a couple more times she flew back to the tree where Shelby was and made her way quickly up the tree till she found Shelby calling for her. This was that meeting.
