By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

I have been so busy over the last few days.  Juvie falcons to keep a close eye on and a most wonderful gathering of folks here in Rochester this past weekend for the annual Rochester Falcon Watch Weekend.

Nettie is again flying high with her brothers and sister after a scare on Saturday/Sunday.  We are all relieved that there was nothing seriously wrong with her left wing.  Whew!

The highlight of today’s late afternoon/evening watch?  One of the juvie males, not sure if it was Mercury or Nor’easter, chased a flock of about 20 sparrows!  We were all quite amazed by this attempt to hunt.  🙂

I am pretty sure that all 4 juvies visited the nest box during the day and evening.  I love when the folks watching the Rfalconcam Cameras are able to see them!

The fledge watch continues.  If you get a chance to stop downtown, this is your chance to see  how Nettie, Tesh, Mercury and Nor’easter are doing with their falcon lessons from Beauty and Dot.ca.

I’ll leave you with some pictures I’ve taken over the last few days.  Enjoy and goodnight!
