I am wondering where the best spot is to watch the falcons in downtown.  I'd like to take my binoculars and watch esp. when the eyas start testing their own wings.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Kathryn Jensen

There is a lot going on downtown these days. Several traditional viewing locations are in or near construction zones. The are also issues with crime. It might be a good idea to make arrangements to go with an experienced falcon watcher rather than go alone.

Hello Kath! Right now there haven't been too many watchers going downtown. When the fledge watch starts, that will change. Our watching area is under heavy construction right now, so we'll have to figure out where the best spots are to park and watch.

If you want to check out the area, I would do it on a weekend when there is less traffic. The Court ST Bridge is a nice view of the whole area. We have watchers that prefer it there. It's near the Dinosaur Bbq.

Be very careful and aware of your surroundings.

When the fledge watch starts, we would love to have you join us. It will be announced here.

I keep forgetting they hatched the same day, it seems so long ago now!  K seems more daring, wasn't that her on the "balance beam" yesterday and today, I haven't noticed if anyone else tried that, she seemed really proud of herself?
Did they weigh them when they were banded?
Also, will they examine the "angel egg"
Sorry for all the questions.

I did ask the DEC folks if they would check the egg. I told them we were curious about the thickness of the egg. They said the thickness of the egg could be due to high humidity. They said they probably would not check the egg.

Our eyases are not weighed. I've been to bandings in Canada where they both weigh them and sometimes take blood sample.

They make me so nervous when they do this!

No matter how many years we watch, we all get nervous every year!  Shocked

Nicer day in the 70s, less humidity, no rain.

Day After Banding
A very hot and humid day. Temp up to 90F, heat index 95 to 100. Ugh!

Do we know which girl was #1, the largest eya? (Name)

I don't know. We'll have to ask those who were in the banding room if they could tell.

We may be able to tell once they un-huddle from the corner and can read their bands, but it was getting harder to tell which was biggest lately.

I could be wrong, but I think it was Kanfai Malachim. She was very feisty and a fighter. They are all magnificent!  ♥️
