Donna, Any news on Ranger? It has been a while so I wondered, and no news is probably good news. I hope.
This is all that is posted about Ranger
Further Update on Ranger's Condition
As of Monday afternoon, Ranger has made very slight improvement over the weekend. He is able to perch but not walk. He has to be force-fed as he refuses food on his own. Laura Jordan of the Medina Raptor Center is worried that his vision is impaired in one eye. The more time he spends down in this condition means the more time it will take to prepare him for release should he make a full recovery. All of this suggests that Ranger is in for a long convalescence and will not be releasable any time soon. I will update when there are changes in his condition.
Ranger's Condition
I received a voice-mail from Laura Jordan of the Medina Raptor Center about Ranger this afternoon Friday, June 18, 2010. He is still being force-fed and Dr. Riggs is concerned about possible lesions in one eye. Laura said that Dr. Riggs wants to see Ranger challenged in a larger enclosure next week to see if that might stimulate his appetite. It will also allow Dr. Riggs to assess his vision. I will update next week to report on any further progress at that time.

Heartbreaking news, two fell off ledge today at various times. Little Swoop did not make it
A Lot of Activity Today
Spirit (09/Y) was the juvenile that fledged this morning.
About 10 a.m. I received a call from Josh Williams from the Ohio Senate Office. He reported that a co-worker, Jason Phillips, noticed a peregrine just outside on a windowsill. He was able to give me the band number. The bird was not injured so I opted to capture her and place her back on the nest ledge. Thanks to Jason and Josh for taking notice and contacting me.
The capture happened without incident. I got back up to the 41st floor of the Rhodes Tower about 11 a.m. It is a bit tricky to put a falcon back out on the ledge when you know another fledgling is out there because you don't want to accidently cause the other bird to flush from the ledge. I looked out the door and saw Scout on top of the nestbox (squawking at full volume since she knew I was there!). At this point I had another potential danger: there was a chance that Scout would attack the bird as I put it back out. Scout wasn't about to leave so, I had to move slowly. I put Spirit in the doorway so she and Scout could see each other and simply closed the door. After a moment she hopped up on top of the nestbox with Scout. Mission accomplished successfully!
Fast forward to just after lunch. In the midst of trying to update the blog I got another call from downtown about a falcon on the sidewalk in front of the Rhodes Tower. Unfortunately this story doesn't end so well. It was Swoop (08/Y) and from reports it sounded like she was exercising on the ledge and then was gone from the ledge. Other accounts indicate she fell down to the ground with little or no flapping. As I have reported many times, flapping is instinctual so the fact that this bird came straight down would indicate there may have been another underlying issue. A necropsy will likely be done.
So, a busy day. Swoop's absence will be noticed much more by all of the fans out there watching than it will be by Scout and Trooper. They concentrate on what they see at the moment and so will focus all of their attention on Spirit. Hopefully she will be well fed and thus will wait to leave the ledge until she is good and ready.

How very very sad. I usually keep up with all the nests but I'm so distracted. Poor baby. They are the same age as C & J too. Awful.

I don't follow this site but happened to see this when I was looking for info on Warrior (there aren't any recent updates). Trooper, mate of recently deceased Scout, has a new female friend identified as Clementine. It didn't take him long! No recent sightings of Spirit, their lone fledgling.

Clementine is Beauty's niece! Her mother is Hathor, another daughter of Beauty's parents, Dorothy & Erie.

They found Clementine dead yesterday after being witnessed diving head first into the street.

Just a thought...
It could be much worse with Jemison...
We should count our blessings!
