Thank you, joyce!  I always wonder about Pigott as i read the wonderful reports about the family DT.  So glad you are checking!  WOW!  DC still making time to do the double time!     He is quite the....???
He is doing well with his fledglings! 

Look at that girl mantle her snack!

Nice, Ei, very nice.

Mantle that snack!
Don't stop to scratch -- your sibling's bound to snatch it!
Don't turn your back! Make like you're trying to hatch it!
Block her attack with a whack-wing smack . . .
Mantle that there snack!

  A wonderful, beautiful moment captured of RM and T!   

Got some shots of Baron yesterday while he was on top of Wilder. Some other shots are mixed in the album (not in chronological order).

Beautiful Pictures Lou!  Love them all!  Thanks for sharing!   

Magnificent, Extraordinary, and Rare!  He soars in poet's flight!   THat is Baron,  And thank  you, Lou, for capturing magnifient and extraordinary pictures of his flight.   I love all of them and especially the last picture of the duck family celebrating life.  That is what it is all about.   

   



I don't think I have ever seen the young'uns do this before...climb down the ramp as BA is doing.     Is this a first or just the first Ihave seen  on cam?
Yes, they can use the ramp to get down & back up! Baron...twice today!

  With all the excitement  of the fledges, I am so glad that you checked and found Ms. P, Joyce! 
Poor Ms. P.   Maybe next year.    But I don't want to think what that might mean  :-(

Would you look at that big blue foot hanging over the edge!

"One toe over the line....?"    (That's what I always Thought the song said  :-))  

   I never knew!   

Sittin' downtown in a railway station-one toke over the line.

So good to hear.  Thank you.

I think Baby Blue Feet (Rosetta) is beginning to get  BYF! 

Some of our Fledge Watchers - like MAK! - have been on duty for about 7 hours! You guys rock!!! THANK YOU!!!

(Not forgetting others who have also been on duty, but MAK is always first!)

 

  Thank you to all who are out there in wind, rain, snow, sleet, high temps, low temps, high humidity -- like today!  Thank you for sharing the falcon world with us.  You all rock!   

new member of the Wall-enda's!!

:-)  Like the Wall-enda's! 
I remember seeing Jemison  and  Callidora on the wall and  doing all of the same things these three falconeers are doing.  Now it seems more of a normal part of their development and not quite so heart-stopping as I when I first saw Callidora and Jemison.  Orion - being an only - was different to watch last year.  He was well protected and well fed, and special. 
These three are certainly their own individual personalities and fun to watch.   

He is back to the nest box platform at 9:31 am.  Good job Baron!

Next step, top of the cam with Beauty

I would hope top of nest box first more room for error

I love how she sits up there ALL of the time just watching over her young 'uns.
