Thanks loza
I am so glad this pair raised young.
In 2020 they must have laid eggs but they didnt hatch

I hope its wings were strong enuf to break the falls

Only 3 falcons were banded. I didn’t band the 4th chick because it was 4-5 days behind developmentally. It's likely this is the chick that died.

MY NOTE
June 11, 2021
June 8 sky and loza noted only 3 chicks.
Apparantly the 4th died between banding May 28, 2021 and June 8 - dont know why

By the time falcon juvies are this color, they are past perching and running around the nestbox rooftop. Their lack of interest in fledging is concerning.

One of the males has been perching - not long - but up.
He even thumbed a ride (grooming)
The female also perched briefly

06/07 A girl E 58 and a boy 12V on the landing, the third careful, does not enter.

Boy I thought he fell, but he did not save himself

loza · **Posted:** Thu Jun 17, 2021 8:53 am

I was gone for a moment. I am coming back, there are two,

I wish I had seen the departure of the boy.

But no, it showed up on the roof of the building behind the booth

ROOFING
June 17, 2021 This is a milestone for them.
I watched male almost fall
He looked like he wanted to go to an outer perch.
I didnt see him 'branch' to the roof. Darn!

8.20 am
I watched awhile and I can see a flappy happy wing down there.
If they pull cam back we could see him.
Oh there he is! He flew up to the roof ledge, flapped - down again.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I'm FREEEEEEE!

You can see E 58 thumbing a ride (on RRP)

June 18, 2021 Tstorm at dawn
Parent sat guard, juvie joined parent

2 pm I watched this A LOT but missed the juvie's exit.
I have NOT seen him on the roof today

I dont think I want to watch this after this year.
Its too frustrating. No DVR so I cant back up.
We cant see inside to see if there are eggs.

I wish they'd get on youtube

I share your opinion, the preview is very stressful

06/19 9.31 am Two Girls in the nest. E 57 dared to go above

Shepherd · **Joined:** Mon Apr 28, 2014 3:10 pm **Posts:** 6068

loza, I saw the male on the roof -
but he came back overnite
Next day I didnt see him go and never saw him since

One of these girls is ready to exit -
she's been testing (my term)
