ELBA — When Jim Mussell began rappelling down the side of the bluff at Whitewater State Park on Thursday morning, he knew he would find at least one peregrine falcon chick in a small cave. Cool, a natural nest.

Volunteer Glenn Phillips carefully banded a pair of 21-day-old peregrine falcon chicks as their mother swooped down in anger, talons at the ready.

So, even with the nasties, is DC spending more time with B?

Absolutely! Just they do that when B wants her spot back! Fun to watch, like the old MK days. 

Probably the last to fledge! 

Check out this video. A night intruder but momma was right there. Hope the intruder survived. Sound up also. The 3 eaglets didn't even stir.

Nice report by Lyn but what are they males, females?  Hard to tell by names these days! 

I know Solar is a boy and MAK got to hold him 

I heard!   

Hope there's pics of MAK and Solar!

Oh you know there is!! 

They weren't saying "I love you!" 

Look at Beauty   





She's chupping away
Scorned but he left with his tail between his legs.

DC not moving! DC

hello from Etobicoke  with Joyce and MAK!

We have 3 girls and 1 boy - Olympia, Regatta (sp?) Windward and Euro!

Running back down.  o'connor put up an impressive defense..to say the least!  Her aggressiveness was not exagerated.

I like the names!!  Thanks Carly

[Hi and]

Hi and SusanHome

again Patsy!

The Yoyo's commenting make me laugh(on the newspaper site). Apparently none of them have seen the swingstage fellows attacked at bandings or been on a rooftop near a nest. The threat is very real. What may save him is he is doing this at 9pm. Often the Peregrines have settled for the night by this time. On the other hand there is plenty of daylight left at 9pm this time of year. If we send representatives there I hope Im one of them. 

I hope it's you too BF!!

Any news on S2? Can't even find info on BCAW!!

I look from time to time but I don't think there has been any sightings since the video showing her looking at the eggs when New Girl came into the box and S2 flew off. Pa still seems attached to the eggs and does incubate them at times so that's why people there haven't removed them. Sad. 

 NO, I mean S2 not OR2. S2 is still in rehab right?

Whoops, too many 2 's-these birds need names!  Lol. I think I read she's with a Falconer and will be released in the fall.

Thanks kris, can't find her thread on BCAW!

You have to go to Board Index and look for DeMortel:Pa and OR2-info about S2 should be there.

OH saw that but thought S2 had her own thread. No news in a while then. THX!!
