Cadence is keeping up with the rest of the gang, i.e. Beauty and Juliet (Jersey City)

Fingers crossed that all goes well this year.   

I hope your last Rochester Falcon Watch is a good one.  Just toss those pigeons around for the birds.  Seth and Billie, Beauty and Dot.ca will definitely miss you.  Birds have incredible visual memories. 

Hope the weather is better in Arkansas.  I'm sure you will miss the winters in upstate NY.

That was the only year they named the eyases.  It was in honor of Linn Pierson, exceptional falcon watcher who posted often on this forum.  We had two 'Linn's' that year.  New Jersey and Rochester.

Lovely article and photos by my friend, Francois Portmann.  He and Dennis Edge lay claim to the red-tails around Tompkins Square Park.

Yippee!!  I can't get up there until next week...

BD/62 was back at 101 Hudson for dinner last night.  Folks have posted video of her coming in to scream for food at about 5:04 pm.  She is one Giant Guvie!!

She was also soaking wet on the nestbox ledge this morning.  I hope she grows into her talons, LOL.  She would then rival King Kong in size.

She has slimmed down considerably.

Great stills. I saw the fledgling flying around an apartment building in that area this morning.

Just get on the train, Donna.  It stops at Hoboken.  I'll pick you up.  Or Newark Penn.

One of the local watchers had an overnight guest at her apartment last night.  You can imagine the relief of knowing that the FLEDGLING was safe over the last few days.

Right now she is safe and perching precariously on the edges of the ledges.  She is making short hops between two terraces.  She is acting more like an adventurous falcon than a timid baby.

Went down today:

Not only did our big girl get down the ramp, she was up on the ledge this morning.  She didn't sleep in the scrape.  We are all now in YIKES!! mode.  She is not strong enough or svelte enough to take a dive.

Our Chubby Chick finally went down the ramp and onto the terrace.  She has lost quite a bit of down, but it will most likely be almost 10 more days until she fledges.
