Another snack at 11PM?

This is a very good question.  Our 3 eyases hatched on 5/5, 5/6 and 5/7.  The average from hatch to fledge is 42-44 days.  So, going from the first hatch on 5/5, today is the 35th day since hatching.  That means that they should start fledging around 6/16-6/18, which is next Tuesday-Thursday.  Of course it's not an exact science and we know that the boys will probably fledge before the much larger/heavier Cadence (female).

Does someone want to check my math?   

You can also calculate a fledge date by comparing this year to last year.

Last year, the first egg was laid on April 8. This year it was March 27, a difference of 12 days.
Last year, the first egg hatched on May 17. This year it was May 5, a difference of 12 days.
Last year, the first eyas (a male) fledged on June 26. A difference of 12 days puts this year's first fledge on June 14.

pcarey2786 (patsy6): DT Falcons:  BTW, I called June from the TR lobby to ask about removing the pigeon and she said go ahead, just as Mark was removing it. 

I guess that makes Mark the quicker picker upper.

He's mastered the one-footed perch too.

There was a robin singing on the ledge above the nest box yesterday during the Belmont Stakes. Beauty was on top of Camera 1 right below him.

Brave, brave, Sir Robin.

Here is the video Sir Robin, barely visible on the corner of the ledge above the nest box.
