Hope she makes it!

She can't swallow so she was rescued and being treated.

I have contacted our facilities manager here at TR.  He is aware of the falcons and will tell the workers on the roof about them.  He will also suggest that the workers wear hardhats.

And tell them not to strike at them also!

We just received word that "Brandon", the nesting male at a cliff at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park was found dead along the highway over the weekend. I am on my way to take a look at the remains to try and determine cause and timeline for death (if possible). We will also be making site visits throughout the fall to see if a replacement bird arrives this year or in the spring of 2014.

Brandon hatched in 2007 from a site about 30 miles to the north, also on Lake Superior. He has nested at Corundum since 2011, produced 2 chicks in 2012 but failed this season.

And going by Chinese tradition, they won't be named until they are 100 days old!

I dropped in at Harlequin and the Duncan Mills nest site tonight on my way to the ICICI Don Mills nest site. Found Quest hiding out in the nest box lol. Kendal was at the back of the Harlequin building before he flew back to his usual spot at 240. No sign of the girls but Mom & Dad had eyes on I am sure, (hence the hiding in the nest box).

BROCK IS BACK AND SHE IS A SHE!!!

Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - Falconwatch Coordinator Rachael Belford reports: After getting a clean bill of health Brock was brought back to Hamilton and released on the Sheraton roof, not far from the nest ledge, at 11:37 today. Equally good news is that Brock weighed in at 744 grams, clearly a female weight, so we can use 'her' and 'she' from now on! Based on past rescues and releases, Brock will explore the Sheraton roof a bit, find her way over to the TV camera area and likely, but not absolutely, hop or fly back to the nest ledge. Stay tuned!!

Oh my, well not the first time an eyas has been misdiagnosed! Glad SHE is ok! Thanks
