Thank you so much for your action packed commentary on todays events. And your pictures really bring it to life, especially for all us remote watchers! Great pictures in particular of Quest and Susan B. It’s amazing to realize that 6 weeks ago these eyases hatched and now they’re flying. Keep up the great work!
Wish I was there!

Jim~~You and the others make this site and I have to say thank you for all the hard work you guys put into this project. Its just amazing to read and see all the pictures that are given to us of all these wonderful birds. As you tell the adventure of Susan B and her safe return , Mariah’s granddaughter Unity (Rhea Mae’s daughter) in Toronto “first day of flight” had a slight mishap also-but don’t fret–the little one is safe and sound. And the day before that Lily–also Mariah’s granddaughter (Rhea Mae’s) decided to ride the top of a bus! Instead of flying….lol They had to rescue her off the bus and make sure she was alright too. I’m glad to see all the team work that goes into getting the little ones back to safety. They sure need your help once in awhile ! You all do a great job and its so much appreciated ! Thank you! 🙂

Jim, your reports are the best. Your pictures are just amazing. Your commentary is just great. I feel like I was there, and hoping to be soon. Great job keep it up they certainly can use the team of you. Great rescue.

Once again I’m impressed with the detailed story and photos that accompany your reports! I only wish someone had been snapping pics when the hand off over the fence occurred. My son and I have been enjoying this year from eggs to now, and we eagerly await everyone’s reports. Keep up the excellent work!!

I see Seneca out on the ledge ! YEAH ! 🙂 Good girl ! We all knew you could do it! I’m sure she is getting the “height” adjustment in check ! She doesn’t want to look down. Hopefully she will get over her fears. 🙂
PS I also have to agree with Debbie that the pictures and the reports are as if you are right there. Love following the reports! Again, thank you!

@JenP- There were a lot of people with cameras present, so it’s possible that someone got some photos of the rescue. I’d like to see some of them myself!
@Everyone- Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you’re enjoying the reports and pictures.

Once again your photos are amazing and your words bring the excitement of fledging to those of us who cannot be there. Thank You !!!

I am new this year to the Falcon watching. I have been watching since the “babes” hatched and am constantly monitoring the cameras and now the blogs from the watchers. Jim, your photos and commentary are outstanding and I am always putting some of your photos on my desktop. Just beautiful. Thank you!!!!

Jim,
Not knowing your background, I’m assuming that you are a professional photographer and writer. That was wonderful coverage of the rescue. My interest in birds has never covered Raptors until this spring, when a friend forwarded the Catalina Island/Channel Islands Bald Eagle site, which also experienced a dramatic rescue. The next logical progression in my Raptor education was with all of you at the Peregrine Falcon site in my hometown. It has been both fascinating and informative. Many thanks to all involved in this vital program. As you all are aware, these beautiful birds are also our environmental “barometers”.
With Respect and Gratitude,
Barbara
