Rochester Falcon Watcher: MAK

My first official fledge watch was very exciting.  When I arrived Jeanne and Jim were there.  Beauty was on ledge to the right of nestbox and above one level.  Jemison and Callidora were both on the raised column on the wall to the right of nestbox.  Jim Pisello appeared and went down to Exchange St. directly below the nestbox to spread us out in case one of the eyases came down.  Archer showed up and got on NE ledge under wing and Beauty shortly after went to SE ledge under wing.  Jeanne left and soon after Joyce came with Casey and Abbey. (her dogs) Not much happened for awhile until Beauty and Archer started flying. Since there was no breakfast at this point we knew they were trying to entice them to come fly with them.  Lisa McK., Linda and her husband Tim came and joined us.  That’s when business picked up.  There was all kinds of flying by both adults.  Finally, I believe about 12:15 Beauty brought food. She fed them beak to beak and left with the remains circling and flying by them trying to coax them with food but they wouldn’t budge.  When I left B&A were under the wings and J&C were in the nestbox probably napping.
