With Rosetta having blue feet, maybe BBF should be added to the glossary? Just a thought..

Very nice, Janet!

Three eyasses

         

3 RTH's hatched here this year- Peanut, the lone male, and the "formel twins".  Sadly, one of the twins flew hard into a window this afternoon playing with her siblings and died on impact.  Fly free, F2.

Oh shoot, they were doing so well too! 

Clarification on my post-there are 2 tiercels left-the twins were male and female with the lone formel being deceased.  From what I've read in comments, they're going to preserve her body and use her for educational purposes.

O Sole Mio!

That was precious, Patsy!

My next favorite Raptor-I enjoyed watching them this season!   

Posted on FB-

Solo will be staying overnight with Joann for observation and x-rays. He appears to have an injured wing. We'll update on his status as soon as we get more information.

Update-

We also suspect Solo has impact injuries to his legs/feet. X-rays are scheduled for Friday and he will be with Joann until then and possibly beyond. The previous post about a wing injury is not certain. The x-rays will shed more light on what's going on.

Just read on Twitter that 45 minutes ago, Solo hit the Key Bank Tower and is on the way to a rehabber.  Something strange is going on with him.

   They don't know where to find me...

He's just too darn cute!

                       

                Have a great day, Carla!                                  

       
               

Anyone know if these 2 have names? No updates since the 2nd one hatched? Did they forget about Hamilton??

Posted in BCAW:

"Our theme for bird names this year is "Heroes and Heroines of the War of 1812". Chick No. 1 (left) weighed in at 858 grams, clearly a female, and was named "Laura" for Laura Secord. Chick No. 2 (right)was named "Brock", for General Brock. Brock weighed in at 422 grams, well in the low part of the weight range for a male, but being only 19 days old there is some doubt as to gender. We will have a better idea on that in about two weeks. (No. 2 would have been named "Tecumseh" but we learned that a Peregrine chick at Windsor, Ontario was given that name a few weeks ago and we try not to have two birds with the same name.) Pictures of the banding are now available for viewing! Click here to View the 2013 Banding Gallery (opens a new window)."

Many think Brock is a female now that she's older.

No Audio as I had the feeds muted...

Thanks, NCA!  I didn't see him get up there or down so good catch!
