Saturday Fledge Watch – 6/13/15
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
LET THE FLEDGE WATCH BEGIN!
Temperatures in the mid-70’s and sunny. A perfect day!
There were a lot of falcon watchers out with me today. I will make an attempt to name them all, but I apologize if I miss any.
Watchers: MAK, Kathy O, Patricia Rose, Pat, Lisa McK, Brian H, Joyce and Carol P.
I started my watch just before 10 am and ended it at 7 pm. A long, but fun day spent with our falcons and many of my friends.
Since my days will be long during the fledge watch, I won’t have a lot of time to leave reports, but will try my best to at least summarize what happened and post some pics.
There was a lot of activity at the nest box by the eyases. Both boys, Genesee and Bronx, were out on the wall. Later in the day, Cadence did visit the wall for a moment. Both Beauty and Dot.ca were in hunt mode most of the day. They were also busy keeping the air space clear for their young eyases first flights.
No fledges yet, but after I arrived home and was viewing the live streaming video, Genesee made it up to the top of Camera #4. Yesterday he was on top of the nest box. He is getting very close to fledging.
Ok, now for some pictures from my fledge watch. Enjoy and goodnight! Tomorrow should be another exciting day!
