What is "Mute"?
   
Mute is the word for falcon excrement.  Shocked

What is a “Falcon squash”?  devil

 When the juvies need to take a break, they sort of just squash down on a ledge or rooftop for a while. You’ll see their wing tips sticking up. Don’t be alarmed - they are just resting.

What is an “Assist”?
   
I’ll use this term when an adult bird “helps” a juvie in flight. It could be the first flight or a subsequent shaky flight. An adult will fly closely alongside or underneath the juvenile to guide it. I have never witnessed body contact but I would assume it is possible. The adult will often try to force the young bird to a safe landing as it guides it either up or down to that spot.

Just in case!
     


Where did you find these?

Good one Ei!  I like the still pic of the two of them in the nest box. Thinking about using that for update business cards.

There have been a few nice ones of them in the nest box-her crop looks a little weird in the 8:35 one

This is exactly what Mariah did for Isaura.  Assisted her back to the Kodak Tower, gently nudging her from behind and below, lifting her.  Yes, there was physical contact between them.  This happened on my first Falcon Watch 10 years ago!  I will never forget it.   wub2

OMG, that was TEN years ago?
I remember as though it were yesterday, bawling my eyes out while reading of Isaura's accident  crying
