Falcon progress. The Falcon that took a swim in the Bay is improving daily in strength and flight. Making great use of the Barn Loft that I realize now is longer than I originally posted at about 48 feet. Working daily to try and get the falcon to bait to a lure. According to feedback I get from falcon watchers it is not unusual for young falcons to not want to work if the adults still feed them. This bird ignores my efforts to attract with a moving bait and waits until I offer the food at a perch. It is very happy to devour the food when offered without the need for effort on it's part.

Because it doesn't know any different! No parents to teach it.  Bring it back, it's not injured!!! Why keep it?? |

Some more falcons, the little ones. Fell out of a rotting soffit on an old house in City of Canandaigua. The first two, in white down when picked up were joined by their sibling a couple days later.
The year of the falcons. These Kestrel babies were picked up in a driveway in Canandaigua City. Wierd location for Kestrels. Old house with lots of big trees. Not near open meadows for hunting. Old house is probably the nest location. Rotted out and squirrel chewed holes under edge of roof. Possible nest locations. A third one fell out two days later. Now there are three.

Such a shame when there are so many organic, non-harmful pesticides out there and no one want to use them. I use everything I can find or make to keep out creepy crawlers or critters! Mostly oils, peppermint, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus and such! They work and they don't.....it depends!! I'm sure there is something better they can use for pesticides!! Lead bullets really burn my britches!! Oh don't get me going on that subject!
Thanks for the article!
