Rochester Falcon Watcher:- Carol P.
I was downtown, along with many other Watchers, for a good part of today. During that time, there was a lot of flying by Archer and Beauty and a lot of flapping by Callidora & Jemison.
After a dinner break, I returned to find a whole lot of Watchers in attendance, Kathy...

The other amazing thing is that Jemison was perching on the fire escape-- something his talons have not done so to see him balance was pretty awesome.  when he was trying to climb, (doing the bat look as he gripped the times square bldg) he didn't flutter but was able to fly after that. 

I was really impressed with A/B.  They were watchful and often in the air with Jemison.  We were having to identify who was who!  That parent involvement was impressive! 

These two have had different experiences from our other little falcons-- and though they have flapped, it hasn't been the running and flapping we have seen in past years with the playpen area of Kodak.  That made the stellar flights Jemison took even more impressive and brought to mind Sabrina/Valiant and Zephyr !
