First Fledge Watch Report of 2021 – 6/18/21
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Watchers: Dana and Carol P from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm
There was a lot of activity by our two young eyases. Both were running the wall and flapping their wings, strengthening them for their soon to be first flights. Golden actually knocked Beauty off of Cam #4 and took her place for a few seconds. She brought in a small snack to entice him to come down from the camera. Freyja is a bit younger, but she’s keeping up with her brother.
The watch started out chilly and mostly cloudy. It did warm up and by the time we left, just before 2:00 pm, it was raining steadily. Both eyases had settled on the wall, so we decided it was a good time to leave.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from today’s fledge watch.
