Why the hell did he poke a hole in that egg!? The chic would do it when it's ready!!! Ugh!

 

On my way home last night I spotted both adults and 1 juvie in their favorite tree. I had a car right on my bumper so I couldn't turn onto the shoulder quickly. By the time I got down the road & turned around the juvie was flying...just shooting blindly in the direction he went I got this picture of him (don't know why I've been saying him)

 

Both adults were still there male on the left and female on the right


Another watcher stopped and said both juvies are out there...he saw the 2nd one on the other side of the road. They fledged a bit more than a week ago.

The male took off (video to upload later) and the female stayed for quite a while. I caught her take off.
 

This album has all the pictures I've gotten so far of the family.

Nice pics Ei! Thanks for sharing!! 

 

 

I've been thinking lately about how fortunate we've been to be able to see Billie, granddaughter of Mariah and Kaver, grow from a very young five month old juvie to an adult and now to a first time mom.  Here's a side by side view of her.  The pic on the left was taken by Dana in October of 2013 at the Coast Guard Station radio tower and used to ID her for the first time, and the pic on the right was taken by MAK this past Sunday at Seneca Towers.  What a lovely young falcon she is.  We're also very fortunate to have some very dedicated watchers who are very talented photographers!

Thanks for sharing Jeanne! 

  Great news if it's him!! 

 

Very cool Ei! When you move to Rochester you should come live at Seneca Towers then you could have falcons in your backyard!

 

Go Florence!  I'd like to snuggle with that explorer too!   

Ya think!???!!

I'll take one of each!
