Beauty and the Chicks!

Hey!  Callidora!  Wake up!  Main Cameras working again!  We have to make ourselves presentable!

So Sorry for the late notice.  June sent a notice out to the Falcon Watchers about the upcoming Fledge Watch meeting.  But I'm sure that there are some of you who have never Fledge Watched before that would just love to join us. 

It's so hard to believe that Callidora and Jemison will be taking those all important first flights within the next couple weeks.  It seems like yesterday that they were just tiny little white fluffs breaking out of their eggs.  Now look at them!  White fluff is being replaced by brown juvenile feathers. 

The Fledge Watch meeting is scheduled for this coming Saturday:

Saturday
June 19, 2010
9:00 am
Rundel Library

Many of us will be there at 8:00 am or earlier.

So, if you've ever thought about joining the Fledge Watch, this is your chance.  Please consider meeting us on Saturday morning to find out what you can do to help out.

Thanks!
Carol P.

Our little Warrior princess is growing with leaps and bounds.  I stopped briefly yesterday AM on my drive into work, and she is already starting to flap a lot.  Seneca and Cheyenne were both on the bridge railing below the nest, about 8 feet from where we drive into work.  I plan on sharing much more about this little one, and for many years to come about Seneca.
 

Thanks for joining the forum Elimac and sharing your Seneca/Cheyenne Watch Reports.  I look forward to hearing first hand how this little family is doing.  Thanks!

This is so heartbreaking.   

It is possible that our Eve has the same illness that Blue has in Harrisburg.

Nicole,

I am so sorry for the loss of Eve.  It's never easy to lose one of these beautiful creatures.

"Joyce, the dog looks like a lg wh pitbull.   Barb B just said Miriam, BB's mom, was the same way, and mostly attacked men.  She thinks BB may be used to Roger and I.  The road around MacKay is used by many students walking, and you know how close it is to Winspear where people are always walking. - Sage"

A large white pitbull?  OK, I'm not saying it didn't happen as reported.  But, I cannot believe a Peregrine tried to lift a large white pitbull.  Attack, yes.  Cut up, yes.  But an attempt to lift it?  If that really happened, this is one very aggressive and bold and not very smart (sorry) Peregrine.  Yikes!

We know Mariah could get quite aggressive when defending her young and I've heard stories of Peregrines attacking people.  Linda Woods (Rhea Mae's Watcher) was chased down the street by Wind, so it does happen. 

I met Bozo the clown when I was little.   

I'm so happy to hear that these 3 boys are doing well.  Great news!   

I wouldn't go by the color at all.  I was really far away and had to really zoom in and lighten the picture.  But, who knows.  It could be any Peregrine for sure. Wish I had been able to get closer.

Wonderful news Dale!   

Let's hope the little one is ok. 

Someday our wings will look just like mom's!

That's it Jemison!  Just one big yellow foot at a time!  A little sisterly advice from Callidora.   

Another feeding at 9:22 am.
