WHAT A SHOW
June 23, 2010 - Burlington - Lift Bridge
Sue McCreadie Reports:
Tonight we were entertained almost non stop from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. The “Falcon Follies” started well before 8:00pm. Lots of tag, lots of talon touching and lots of screaming for food. At times there were 4 birds in the air doing aerobatics. Mom was hunting. Dad brought in what appeared to be an American Gold Finch. Everything was happening so fast, that we were uncertain as to who got the meal. Great to watch this stage of learning to hunt and chase prey.
!!! Locked talon wip arounds.
June 23, 2010 - Windsor - Ambassador Bridge
Dennis Patrick Reports:
Locked talon flying is when the juvenile birds grab on to each others talons and spin each other around and around. Like a high speed marry go round in the sky. I’m dizzy just thinking about it. This is important for the males because they will need to claim a territory and defend it and attract a mate. This exercise is good for strength and stamina. This also determines who the dominant bird is .
Sibling interactions are a big facter in the chicks success down the road.
stayed tuned the action just gets better and better.
Everyday that these little creatures survive increases their odds of making it on their own.
Dennis Patrick.

Recent News Title
6/24/2010 :: Update on Blue
The infections/parasites are gone. He's improving daily.
He will not be released here at the Rachel Carson Building-he's not ready. Feather development is still slow and weight is still down. He's not preening, so his flight feathers are slow to come in. Eventually, we would like to release him, but there is no guarantee he'll fully recover. If he does, the release may occur this Fall or Spring of 2011. He will get flying and hunting lessons while in rehabilitation.
poor little guy....guess he'll be in rehab for a while.
