Hello all Rochester god-parents of Linn and god-grandparents of Linn's babies.
Winnie from Toronto here. Just want to let you know that my husband and me plus another watcher David Currie spent the last two days watchging Linn's babies, Loki and Niera at yellow page during the weekend.
The report for Saturday is up already on CPF's website, sorry, for not reposting directly but I was tired out from the watch and excitment these two days. Hope you will enjoy the pictures. Both linn and reuben are great parents and they are always nearby.

Thanks for the report Winnie and now the fun begins! Good luck.

Greet news at Harlequin. Carina flew today and was fed by Kendal. She landed on the north side of the nest ledge. Donna H and I watched her flight which was very good and Murray watched her being fed.
Photos of Luna who took a flight and did a bat hit on the east side of nest ledge. We thought she had hit window until I uploaded photos and saw she hit the ledge. She then flew to the pink building to chill.

Western New York’s fledgling falcons are ready to take flight

It’s part of the reason Tulett-Sosa, Skompinski and Joyce Miller of Rochester have been on hand at the terminal every day this week.

Don't believe everything you read. I've been to watch the falcons 2 times in the past week. I can't make those every day trips anymore...even for the birds. They interviewed me that day, and the only thing they got right was the 2008 year Diamante was born

Shazam!! Don't you love the news??? LOL

RM getting out of the sun.

No followers?

Was at Harlequin this morning. All was well!

[According to the banding lab, she holds the record for the oldest known peregrine falcon in North America at 19 years 10 months since she was last spotted in March 2011.]

Members of the Midwest Peregrine Society were in the tower of City Hall to band this year’s chicks when they made an interesting discovery.

They came across the remains of the tower’s previous female peregrine resident and after reading her band number learned that she was hatched in 1992 at the Colonnade Building in Golden Valley.

According to the banding lab, she holds the record for the oldest known peregrine falcon in North America at 19 years 10 months since she was last spotted in March 2011.

The society also said that four falcon chicks were hatched this year — two male and two female.

The society has named one of the females Eve but is looking for help naming the other three. Name suggestions will be taken until 4 p.m. July 5 and then final voting will be open until 4 p.m. July 19.

Name suggestions can be sent to the society at tracey.mclaughlin@co.hennepin.mn.us or dropped off at City Hall in Room 20.

Anyone have an idea when these little ones might fledge? They certainly seem eager to make their next move.

They have a couple weeks left Bobbie.

June 21st - 2013
You wouldn’t believe me even if I had the energy and time to get it all written down! I can hardly believe what we have all just been through in the last 96 hours!!
In short, both of the young fledglings at the Duncan Mill road nest site are still both alive, and a little healthier, wealthier, and hopefully wiser! They have survived to live another day, and as the old saying goes, what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger,, - (or something like that) - I think?.

Carina successfully rescued after colliding with the window and Luna flying like a pro!!!
Story to follow.

Today started out like most days during the fledge watch, alarm goes off at 4:00am, hit the snooze five or six times, and finally into the shower, shave utilizing the wet razor, while drinking the morning coffee simultaneously. Find some clean cloths in the darkness, grab your stuff and rush out the door.

On the way into the fledge watch, grab another coffee at Tims, and pray that you can get on site before any real light comes up so that your fledglings are in the same spot that you left them five hours ago.

The mobile phone rings, and the person on the other end of the line explains that there is a injured falcon trapped behind their glass balcony several miles away from you current position (in the opposite direction to which your going). Out of cigarettes, Damn!!!, now really rushing, but the hope that this report actually pays off and the missing fledgling might be found! A quick U-turn,(hope that there is no cops around) and 20 minutes later having gone in the wrong direction, your at the location where you might just get lucky, find your missing fledgling and save a life to day.

Up to the callers apartment, out on the balcony, a young recently fledged American Kestrel half covered with white down is huddled down in the corner looking pretty terrorized. You quickly realize that its not the bird that that you had hoped to find. Then comes the long explanation to the caring folks that its not the fledgling that your looking for! Scoop it up and get it to the upper roof area so its parents can find it.

Back in saddle again, finally on your way to your original destination. Now the light has come up and your stress level is elevated another few notches. Finally on site, park, get your bins, out the car door and around to view the last known location of the fledglings that you left them at them at five hours ago.

Crap!! There both gone!! Your stress level has now climbed another five notches! 40 minutes later and what seems like several miles of searching, you have finally located the fledglings. Thank god! Back to the car, unload the rescue carrier, brake-out the radios, grab the rescue towels, the folding chair. Don’t for get your coffee! More than several trips back and forth from the car to the set up position. Crap, forgot the binoculars. Back to the car. Back to the set up location. By this time, both fledglings are gone again and the search is on - AGAIN!!!

Stress level, up a few more notches! Crap,, forgot to get cigarettes!! 20 minutes later again, you have finally located the two fledglings again, one high and one low. Everything OK again!

10:30am, fledglings are screaming around all over the place, sustained flight, but really getting fast and really reckless!! Parents are also stressed! Your stress level is elevated yet again! Moring traffic is heavy, everyone is speeding and in a huge hurry to get to their destination! The fledglings are speeding around, high and low, around the buildings - in and out of sight! Your stress is elevated yet again! The stage is set for an accident waiting to happen, and your pray that you can get through another day without any mortality!
10:45am, both fledglings are again out of sight, and your worst fledge watch nightmare becomes a reality, as you are greeted by Sally and Karen carrying a towel, followed by the amazing Harlequin Rescue Squad as I have am now calling them! They were

Voyager has her tray ready for breakfast!
