looks like they are trying to get Orion to fly. thanks from all of us for keeping watch

he could have been fed real early .

Ours seem to have had first feed around 5 Am

So a late afternoon feed or night feed at this time of development will not be unusual.

[precious little one]

because madness, or Journey, or in my mind precious little one  she wil do great at hacking site. Nows she will have lots of food provided till she can hunt.

this is really the best option for her, other than a falconer. Most of these hack sites are a great option. I know a lot do not agree with them but the idea of hacking is to have them come back to that area in a few years

Our biologist will be doing a  second hack this week, that I may be able to attend and it will be along a river with nice cliffs. Great area

The thing is, if this little one was put back at that other site, she would probably have been chased off. too much time has transpired and then she would be without food

I will check here to see if they have posted anything new.

I am so grateful that she has this chance

I actually feel better that she has been retrieved. they wil fix her up and fatten her up and a falconer is the best thing for her. She will learn good hunting skills.

I finally feel confident for her

I know the heat is a worry, but if they can do it in Australia, they can do it here. positive thoughts everyone. this is just so heart warming

so great 

always check in

Just a note on incubating. Every falcon is different. Some males spend more time than the females, some equal and at Bell in Edmonton, the male has never been seen on the eggs. Brings food right to ledge.

So it all depends on the falcon. There is no one process  that is better , it  is what suits the pair. At our site at university, RAdisson did equal with our old male( a super male) but more ,with the one that replaced O/Y. This year we have a young male, who came in after eggs were laid and he did not incubate but next year he probably will because he did cover the young.

 

I f her beak was dirty, I bet her foot would be also

just what we like to see

I am so glad you are catching the pictures Donna

thanks for answering my question.
Her foot does not appear to be getting worse

thank-you . wonder if falcon at KP is one that courted B awhile back. It was a Canadian bird

was beauty there prior to that.
