Hello everyone,  It's 10:35 AM and I just logged on to see Orion. I don't see him anywhere! Where is he hiding? Has he fledged this morning? I know he's ready for takeoff, but I am not. Go Orion!! Sing for us!

I saw that little Orion outside the nestbox yesterday, practicing his moves and flapping his wings! Such a ferocious falcon! Beauty was right there, keeping an eye on him. Bet her heart skipped a few beats like mine did.

Such sad news about poor Kinney. What an awesome falcon daddy he has been. I began watching Kinney & KathyQ a few years ago, then realized there are falcon families all around. I've gotten attached to these guys. It is rough trying to raise a family and keep them safe when your nest is on a tall building in the middle of the city, but Kinney and KathyQ made it possible. This has not been an easy year for our Indiana falcons. Zephyr was killed June 20th, about a week after his 2 eyases were literally swept away from the nest box by a ferocious storm. Heartbreaking.... Let's hope 2013 will be a fantastic year for all our falcon families!

Orion is an awesome name for our little tough guy. He's looking more like a falcon and less like a fuzzy poofball. Those feathers are coming in nicely and he has a predatory gleam in those eyes. Has anyone else noticed he's been trying to escape the nestbox? They grow so fast!

Hello everyone,  I have been watching this adorable bit of white fluff being cared for by mom & dad. Any ideas on when or if the 2nd egg will hatch? I'm trying to be patient, really I am.

Yippeee!! I am so proud of your beautiful falcons! I just knew it was going to be soon. Now I can go to work with a big smile!

Thanks!  I've been watching the nestbox. We should be getting near the time for those eggs to hatch. Fingers crossed!
