Monday Morning/Afternoon Fledge Watch – 6-15-20

By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

Watchers during my watch; Kathy O, Dana, Larry, Sue and Carrie.

Time: 6:30 am – 2:00 pm

Weather: Chilly start, but it warmed up to close to 70 degrees (F) by the time I ended my watch.

Kathy and I immediately found Roc, Geraki and Hope on the wall. They were lined up under Beauty, on the NE wing ledge and Dot.ca on the SE wing ring. It was wonderful seeing the whole family together on the Times Square Bldg (TSB).

There was a lot of activity by both Beauty and Dot.ca during my watch, but no flying by Roc, Geraki and Hope. They remained close to the nest box. After all his flying and chasing yesterday, Roc was taking a break, and the girls weren’t ready to fledge.

Here are some of my favorite pics from today’s fledge watch. Enjoy!

Dot.ca Feeding Geraki and Hope; the Girls are So Much Bigger than Dad

We don’t usually see Dot.ca beak feed his young ones, especially the girls who are much bigger than him. He usually drops food on the platform and flies off quickly. He did great!

    Thank-you. I particularly like “Hope and her Feather” – what a catch!

    You’re very welcome Alison! It’s been very busy her now that the two girls have fledged! 🙂
