Fledge Watch Continues…The Boys are On the Move – 6/26/14
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
My Fledge Watch lasted 12 hours today and I plan on getting out early tomorrow morning. So that being said, I don’t have time to leave a detailed report. But I did want to leave you with a quick summary and some pictures from today’s fledge watch.
Watchers that came out today: MAK, Joyce, Dana, Brian H, Judy, Dick, Susan C, Shaky, Carrie, Christy, Kathy O, Lisa McK, Larry O, Dan and me Carol P. Hope I didn’t forget anyone. Thanks to all that showed up to help today!
The weather was absolutely gorgeous. Blue sky, temps in the 70’s with low humidity.
The highlights of the day were, both boys (Mercury and Nor’easter) fledged, but returned to the Times Square Bldg, the girls (Nettie and Tesh) made it to the top of the nest box and Nettie ran out onto the wall alongside Mercury. Lots and lots of activity by the young falcons and the adults.
When I left tonight at 7:30 pm, all 6 were accounted for. Nettie, Tesh and Mercury at the nest box and Nor’easter safely on the ledge above the nest box. Tomorrow is supposed to be another beautiful day and I hope that we get to see Nettie and Tesh fledge successfully.
Here are some pictures from today’s fledge watch. Enjoy! and Goodnight!

Thank you so much for the photos. Now I know what you mean when you say Nor’easter was on ledge above NB. We could hear him screaming on stream! So glad the boys safely fledged.

Now’s the time for the Bathrobe Brigade to hold its breath – for a couple of weeks. It is great to know there are so many eyes to the skies and feet on the ground.
