"We still have each others back, even though I had to leave. (Didn't want to but..)" Donna and I do make a good team whether it be in the field or on the phone long distance! Right from the first time I texted her back in 2010 when I was on a watch and she posted it on the forum.(this was pre-twitter days) It's nice to be able to call on her for help when I'm on a watch alone. It can be pretty difficult to keep track of things when watching by yourself sometimes. Like today!!! Thanks for helping me know where to look on the platform for the falcons today D! Like Jeanne said yesterday it can be very confusing trying to ID and keep track of who's who and where they are on that Frontier Communications tower.  |

Looks like Beauty is looking for Orville, her second son.

I'm probably in the wrong category, but has Orion been fed lately? I haven't seen any mention of him eating in any of the posts from the last day or so.

I know he had food yesterday-MAK mentioned it in her falconwatch blog. And Beauty has a full crop right now, so Orion surely was fed first. The watch blogs are really where you'll get detailed info right now. |

For sure he is getting fed. He is flying them and acting like a really healthy juvenile. We will probably not see too many feedings. Plus he has to learn to hunt for himself very soon. He is a late bloomer and by October 1 he should be a very accomplished hunter.

If Orion doesn't grab him and do some flying lessons with him. Next time they do any maintenance (camera or box) I assume they will put him back in the nest box. If he falls off maybe he can be rescued and rehabbed and released into the nest box this fall.  |
