New update on Seneca's old mate. 

"Cheyenne has been doing very well. He’s got the biggest flight cage at the Center to fly around. Laura has had some concerns that he doesn’t quite “look right� so he’s still with us. Laura is one of the top experts on Peregrines, so I would definitely trust her judgment. Unfortunately, because Peregrines are so territorial, they can only be released during migration seasons. I have not asked the questions, but assume that means he’ll be spending the winter with us."

A little more on Cheyenne; Chad and Chris posted this on the Cleveland forum today.

Asked Laura for an update and she said that she plans to really start pushing him in January and will aim for a late Feb/early March release. Hoping for good things for Cheyenne!

I hope Cheyenne will make a full recovery and be releasable, but since he isn't quite ready, I'm glad that he will staying at the Medina Raptor Center for the winter.

Thanks Alison-  I also hope he will be OK for release.  I read that GG has found a new mate since Cheyenne's injury.  Life does go on and I'll always wonder whatever happened to our Seneca.

Update on Cheyenne! Chad & Chris

Thought I'd start a new thread, since we don't know if Cheyenne will end up back at the Brookpark nest site.

Stopped out to the MRC to talk with Laura about her upcoming program (side note: she'll be doing a talk on peregrines for the Rocky River Birds of Prey Weekend at the Nature Center on February 5th), and we checked out Cheyenne together as well.

The staff has been exercising him in his cage daily, breaking down food rewards so that he's worked four times a day. She's thinking he's looking good for release in the late winter, if all continues to go well. He did a few extra laps while we were in his cage-- looked good in flight and landing, and no sign of labored breathing after the workout. Here are a couple shots of him that I snapped before we left...




Thanks Kris G
