Saw this on fb:



Volunteer Bonnie Talluto sent us this photo and an update that 79/AN has moved from the north ledge to the west ledge at 101 Hudson St. in Jersey City. Right now she is out of view from the Falcon Cam.

Thanks Bonnie!!

All by myself,
Don't wanna be, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live, all by myself anymore

That's how I felt on fledge watch today.  Thank goodness our girl has her parents quite close. She still has a bit down on her head, but she will be flying very soon.  The important buildings have been alerted that she will be flying soon.

She was very content in the shade and wind today.

I see they call her Ivy...did you name her?  She's done so well with Athena and Six...hope she continues to be safe through fledging and after!

We named her Kat. Jim Verhagen named her Ivy. So I call her Ivy Kat.

Works for me!  She's beautiful!

Falcon Cam update: 79/AN (Ivy Kat),  is back on the north ledge at 101 Hudson St. Currently she is picking on some prey remains. Practicing her feather plucking skills!

Our Shady Lady is resisting attempts to get her to fly.  The parents want her to fly very much.  They made passes in front of her and above her this morning.  She flapped and flapped.  I thought for sure she would fledge when I left Jersey City.  Been watching her on the cam and she sure is noisy.  She is definitely finding the shade.

And I missed it:

From Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey Facebook page:

79/AN (also known as Ivy) fledged today from 101 Hudson Street in Jersey City at 3:34pm!! Kathy Clark, ENSP watched her lean forward and take her first flight via the Falcon Cam. She was followed by one of the adults as she left the safety of the ledge. Hopefully we'll see her visit the nestbox on the roof sometime soon!

I can hear her on cam, just can't see her. Cam is panning!!

[Bonnie]

If you can hear, that's terrific news. Thank you.  She is probably on one of the lower terraces.

[Donna]

Just checking the cam and there she is with mom back on the roof!  Stay safe girl!

[Bonnie]

She has really not ventured far at all.  I consider her 'half-fledged.'  She has only been on the scrape level wherever there is shade.  I haven't seen a strong flight off the building yet.
