I worry about her with the missing feathers and the darkened cere but regardless, she is beautiful. My hope is that she'll be alright.

Thanks Elimac for the latest photo taken Friday AM by Christopher Lynch posted on CMNH



I too am worried about how Warrior will fly.  Not good to be at a disadvantage for your first fight.

Assuming the worst and she goes down, will there be watchers to retrieve and also band her?

There are periodic visits by Chad & Chris to the nest site.  I know they take 2 weeks vacation from their normal worklife to monitor so many nestsites.  Cleveland is big compared to Rochester and they have many nestsites. Watchers that live close by to a nest site will check on the falcons there.  However, in order to observe this nestsite, you have to be on NASA property. Access is restricted and no one is allowed unless they are granted permission.  I'm sure Elimac checks the site when she goes to and from work, but no one is there on a fledge watch like in Rochester.  If Warrior goes down, C+C and/or the DOW will be notified.

New pictures of Warrior & Seneca on the CMNH forum...these by Steve Hall.  Warrior definitely seems to have missing a feather on each wing-hoping she'll adapt since she's never known anything different.

This is Steve Hall's close up of Seneca...the best of both her parents!

I agree.  A missing feather or two shouldn't doom Warrior.

Boy, Mariah and Kaver sure did make beautiful offspring.

It's the same feather position on each side.  I know when birds molt they usually lose the same feather on each side at the same time, so feather growth is usually symmetrical. I wonder if some part of that mechanism is out of whack-either the feather didn't grow or molted prematurely or is just super slow growing.

I need to ask Mark about those missing feathers.  I know that the fact they are in sync with each other means she won't be off balance at least so that is good.  It's almost like a variation on Mariah's split wing, wonder if grandma had a similar issue when she was a young fledgling.

oh yes they sure did.

about Warrior she is missing the two feathers but compared to our two little ones she seems to be quite ragged from the pictures I saw earlier. I hope she is just a little slow developing  confused

C&C have posted new photos of warrior and seneca.  Actually warrior looks pretty good, I think it's the bridge that makes her looks a bit ragged sometimes.  C&C will be out early today to check on her as in case she fledges they said, they also said her missing feathers shouldn't be a problem - and given they know their birds I trust their judgement.  Some beautiful shots up from yesterday!

Thanks for the updated pics Carly.  I hope as she grows her feathers will fill in better.
