Tuesday Morning Fledge Watch – 7/5/16

By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

I arrived downtown a little before 6 am and joined Dan on the Court St Bridge.  My intention was to do a head count of the falcons after the firework display last night.  We were there two hours and only saw Beauty and three of the juvies, one of which was Leo.

Beauty brought in food, and there was a food transfer right above us.  The juvie carried the prey to the base of Mercury.  Leo joined his sister and they shared breakfast.  There was another juvie sitting on Mercury’s head and Beauty landed on the foot. We had 4 of our 6 falcons in view.  Dan and I thought that the 4th juvie was out getting lessons from Dot.ca.

    Thanks for the report. It is helpful that the juvies are staying so close together after all these weeks.
