I don't know why things are kept hush hush with falcons!!
Because there are people in this world with more money than sense. They want to own a falcon and keep it in a gold cage. They will pay poachers $$$$$ to nab one or two for breeding, or just steal eggs from a known unmonitored scrape. Because there are nut jobs who think it would be fun to shoot a falcon. Because there are people who go cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs whenever a falcon is spotted nearby and rush out to see it without regard for themselves, their fellow motorists, pedestrians, property owners, etc. No, I understand that part, it's just nice to have updates on the injured ones...like with Beauty, Mariah, Jemison etc. That can't hurt! They have FANS!!!! The probably don't have a way to report it publicly. They can hire my big mouth!!

Drats! Didn't read the message until just now.
It only arrived in my email at 6:10 PM. There is a Zazzle app for iOS and Android. There might be a way to have it notify you when a sale starts. I get emails alerts from Zazzle but if I only remember to check it!

Is there any further word on Kendall and how he is recuperating? It's as if he's been completely forgotten these days, and that's sad.
Dot in PA
We don't hear much on Kendal but from last report, he is doing well in a bigger flight cage but still has a long recovery. As far as being released, that's up in the air right now! He had some severe damage and even if he was released, not sure if he could defend himself. That's all I know for now. I don't know why things are kept hush hush with falcons!! He will NEVER be forgotten, we love Kendal!!

Today we'll be visiting the falcon nest at 101 Hudson St. in Jersey City to band the 23 day old nestling. http://www.conservewildlifenj.org/education/falconcam/ cam June 3: Banding day is here!! Today the young eyas (young falcon) is 23 days old. Ben Wurst will be visiting the nest for the last time this year to tag the bird for future tracking. The bird will be banded with two bands, a black USGS band and a bicolor alpha-numeric band that can be used to identify the individual bird using a spotting scope or a high powered telephoto lens. The bird will be sexed and examined to assess its health. Ben will be arriving at 9:30am to the building and will meet with guests and make their way up to the roof floor. The nestling will be brought inside for the banding. This will help keep the adults more calm. We'll be capturing video of the banding to share with you all once we're done.
