Fluffy Sandy is showing her wings!

 Very Quiet Morning
June 25, 2015 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Harry Crawford Reports:

Today is the first full day of the Sheraton watch.  By 8am, I had Tiago on the northeast corner of 130 Adelaide W, with Rhea-Mae on the northwest corner of the same building.  Sandy showed herself 10 minutes later on the nest ledge.  About 9am and again a half hour later, it looks like Rhea-Mae made a very small food drop near the nest box.  Sandy disappeared for 10 minutes each time.  Sandy spent a lot of time out of view, probably lying down.

Later in the morning, Sandy could be seen flapping but standing in the same position - not running and flapping.  This happened briefly twice.  Around 11am, Rhea-Mae made two quick trips from 130 Adelaide to the nest box area.  I’m not sure what this was about as it wasn’t a food drop.  Sandy appeared unconcerned.  When I got home at lunchtime, the webcam showed Sandy lying down just east of the big pipe.

Looks like two juvies and an adult on the Powers Bldg.   

Not sure....do you think that might be Dot.ca? 

So very happy to see Cadence was finally ready to fly again! 

The D&C article has been updated. Extremely well done despite the inaccurate falcon count. (For the superstitious, Bronx was number 13 at Times Square.) Nice touch adding the story about the kids in The Bronx.

Yes-I would say that's probably one of the best articles I've seen about the Rochester falcons. Well done Steve Orr!

Junior is headed for rehab. He has defective feathers on his right wing. If they come in right after his first molt he can be released. If not he will be an education bird.

Thanks, Kris.  It's a good article, although I had to correct one thing in the comments.  Counting this year's three, thirteen falcons have hatched at the Times Square Building.  

I thought that was wrong-I counted this morning and came up with 57 total but it was early...thanks for commenting.

They quoted our Falcon History page, which only counts successful fledges and does not include this year.

As of Dec 31, 2014, there were 53 successful fledges in Rochester, 43 at Kodak and 10 at Times Square.

Well that makes sense then. We don't update that stuff in real time...just not enough hours in the day.

Cadence is thinking about it. She'll go when she's ready...
