First flight

I just got in ……One is off, I’m guessing Rubi.

Not a very elegant departure, so I’ll go and have a look around shortly.   Not very elegant photos, either, such mucky pups!


And later:

At the time of writing, still two in the tower and one in the bushes.  And thanks to Denis and Tiffany for helping me locate the wayward Rubi.

 

Hello Emily Falcon lovers, I had a lovely photo for you of Emily sitting looking into our window, with the nest site in the background... But, my phone went for a swim this morning, so I'm sorry, I can't post it!
So, the update is.... One of the chicks was reported to the building manager as being on a lower balcony for several days. They phoned Ross Harrison (my handsome husband) and between them, organised for Australia Zoo to come out and see what was up.
They arrived within an hour, and discovered it had a broken wing, so picked it up and took it back to their medical section. 
While they were here, we gave them permission to go through upstairs to check the nest site. The other two chicks were there with food from a kill, so seemed to be ok.
Maybe that's what Emily was trying to tell me?! So at least we know that all three chicks are still around.

Mostly good news! Thankfully the injured one was found and will get medical attention. Thanks Donna!!

 

 

 

 

 

Such a cool pic! 

 

Jeeze, I hope she makes it. 

Maybe he and Lily will find each other and live happily ever after. Yeah, that's what I'm going to believe.

MAKfalcon (MAK): In Summerville parking lot near Coast Guard I found a decapitated gull-the head is about 4 ft. from body. Looks fairly fresh-perhaps a PE...

To finish this tweet-perhaps a PEFA kill. 

 

The Audubon Center for Birds of Prey has posted a video of the next treatment session and feeding of the eagle, now referred to as Bald Eagle 743.

Very interesting video and information. She is receiving excellent care, and she is an incredibly good patient. Coating her beak with acrylic will strengthen it, prevent further damage and make it easier for her to eat when she is able to eat on her own again.

Looking good! 

Thanks Alison! Interesting to watch her get cleaned up and tended to! 

Cool! 

 

This is one of the reasons I'm against falconry!
