I'm very happy to hear that Jemison is fit enough to go to a larger facility with a flight cage. I do have a question though...
 When s/he is deemed fit enough to be released, will s/he be brought back to Rochester,  or released nearer to Montezuma?
Just wondering.

I think it will depend on when Jemison is ready to be released and whether Beauty & Archer (and Callidora if it's soon enough) are still around.

I was rummaging through some bookmarks (can you tell I've got falcon withdrawal?) and came across a picture of the Cathedral of Learning where Beauty was hatched.



A bit fancier and higher, but not terribly dissimilar to Times Square

This reminded me of a picture I had cropped to a "panorama" a while ago-the foreground was an ugly building.  



And while I do love digital-among other things, WAY cheaper than processing a roll of film to find one good shot-I do miss the crispness of Tri-X film.  Digital B&W just isn't the same.

If I'm reading it all correctly, these are the eyases of Rocky (Hilliard Rd. Bridge 2006) and Lara (don't recall her origin). I'm guessing it's Valley based on this from the CMNH forum:

Chad & Chris Sun Jun 20 2010, 12:18   Last two days here have been long, hot, and humid, but also very adventurous and entertaining, and certainly alot of fun. One fledged yesterday, and the other today. We started thinking that they were probably females when considering the length of time that it had taken for them to fledge, and after getting closer and better looks at them, they are both females. So, we've unoffically renamed the lighter colored one "Valley" instead of "Hale", as it seems a better fit for a female. Way too much to explain at this hour, so we'll keep this brief and post more with pics soon. Long story short, we had to pick up and release Valley from up on Riverview Road four times today, but as of this evening when we left both Valley and Summit were in separate trees (not in the greatest of spots, but at least they are up about 20-30 feet). We'll see how they do tomorrow.

AWWW!   

WOO HOO!  Glad you caught that!

We need a fingers crossed smilie!

Funny-I was just browsing for pictures and was reminded of the rfc Youtube channel-which has (almost) ALL the dailies...

So, without further ado-in high speed...hatch day!

I like this one best  

I wonder if it can be retrofitted to existing windows?

Although no one saw the initial injury, I'd bet Jemison hit a window.  So I'm VERY grateful this is the worst of it.  And hopefully he's learned to stay away from windows in the future.  

Do we know yet if Jemison will be staying at the Black Creek during his recovery?  Or will he need to stay with a vet for a bit?

And I can't say it enough times...thank you to ALL the watchers!  I shudder to think where Jemison would be without you!

Thanks for the picture, Carol-it's hanging on my wall now.  And once again, thank you to all the watchers for rescuing Jemison.  

Awww...poor baby!  Jemison is in good hands-I'm keeping the healing thoughts on their way!

And going back a bit further...didn't even have their eyes open yet! 

Sorry...just feeling a bit nostalgic for the fluffballs
