What is "Mute"? Mute is the word for falcon excrement. What is a “Falcon squash”?  When the juvies need to take a break, they sort of just squash down on a ledge or rooftop for a while. You’ll see their wing tips sticking up. Don’t be alarmed - they are just resting. What is an “Assist”? I’ll use this term when an adult bird “helps” a juvie in flight. It could be the first flight or a subsequent shaky flight. An adult will fly closely alongside or underneath the juvenile to guide it. I have never witnessed body contact but I would assume it is possible. The adult will often try to force the young bird to a safe landing as it guides it either up or down to that spot. Just in case!

I was just outside here and took a peek at the nest ledge and O'Connor is preening quietly on the cam and then 2 skyreach guys in red t-shirts peek over the rooftop! I wish I had a camera, that's a sight I never thought I'd see. She didn't even flinch  She's a different bird when there are no kids arounds..dare I say she's 'sweet'  (sorry Tracy!) Ya never have a camera when needed, when you do------nada! Thanks Carly, can't wait to see the new cam up and running.

Ahh, I'm on Chrome, nothing works on Chrome except Rfalconcam!
isn't that the truth I have Chrome on my lap top and it stinks  It's good for some things but Live streams, yes, it stinks! *Ei, I did just that and it still didn't work. Did the don't turn on pages, refreshed, um nada. It's Chrome Dome! I used to like it. Oh well! I switched to Firefox YEARS ago and haven't had any reason to switch... I need to do something with FF, it's soooooooooo slow! Takes forever to open a page. That's why I went back to Chrome. I'm sure it's my PC or connection but Chrome is much faster than FF.
