Monday Fledge Watch – Baron Flying Like a Pro- No Fledge by Rosetta or Voyager Yet – 7/8/13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Another 12 Plus Hour Fledge Watch and I need to get some sleep. 🙂
My highlight of the day was seeing the interaction between Baron and Dot.ca. DC has taken Baron under his wing, literally. We watched with a lot of amusement as Baron physically knocked Dot.ca off the Times Square Bldg wing ledges three times! Baron is flying incredibly well and landing well. The only time I saw him miss a landing is when he came up a little short attempting to land on the corner of the Cross Rds Bldg. He recovered quickly and flew back to the Times Square Bldg and landing on a ledge on the NW side.
Now we wait for Rosetta and Voyager who continue to flap their wings, strengthening them for those first flights. I have a feeling we will have at least one fledge tomorrow. The Watchers will be there to keep an eye on them as they join their brother Baron.
Today’s Watchers that joined me during my Watcher were: Dan S, Larry O, Donna, MAK, Lisa McK, Pat, Joyce, Shaky, Kathy O, Joe (Happy Birthday Joe’s Mom!) and Aaron.
Here are some pics from my Watch today. If you would like to see a picture in a larger format, just click on it. To get a description of the picture, just hover your cursor over the picture. Enjoy!

Wonderful pictures of the whole family, but especially of Baron! He is flying like he is Baron of the Skies! I don’t think I have ever seen a young fledgling take to the skies as this young one is!
He is so lucky to have all of you looking after him! ( I don’t think he will need your assistance, but he is still lucky..and he doesn’t even know it).

I just hope he stays away from windows. I hope he doesn’t get to fast before he finds out what they are. Yes I am a worry wart. 🙂
