(Sage) CT All kids have fledged! It's a beautiful day for flying lessons and they are paying attention, and fly very well! One at BACK corner of rear arch flew to front, walked up and down arch, then flew to join another atop the back clock. Another was on a tower ledge, took off and flew with parent!
Afternoons are generally more quiet, nap times, but come out for a good show this evening! Pix coming...

Awesome news!  Thanks Sage!

This  morning, UB then CT then UB! 

At CT, saw Billy eating, Edward nearby flew off and went far circling around and returning, Virginia on small ledge under lamp on lower roof.  All good there so we went back to UB.

Dixie needs to stop feeding those kids so much! Maybe she is new at this. These kids have no fluff left, they have no excuses, they need to take off!



Photo ops galore this weekend at UB, fledging, CT watching fledges and ST, both! What's not to love?   

Taking a break in the hot middle of day, then get stitches out, then back to UB. Tomorrow, everywhere. See you there?

Western New York’s fledgling falcons are ready to take flight

It’s part of the reason Tulett-Sosa, Skompinski and Joyce Miller of Rochester have been on hand at the terminal every day this week.

He made it around the corner where he perched on a north side ledge. On his way to Rochester!

Don't believe everything you read. I've been to watch the falcons 2 times in the past week. I can't make those every day trips anymore...even for the birds. They interviewed me that day, and the only thing they got right was the 2008 year Diamante was born

UB Bailey apparently fledged into trouble today, and was found on top of a van. She had a noticeable limp and went to the SPCA for evaluation. I hope she comes home quickly!

Ah gee, I hope there's nothing seriously wrong! Maybe just a sprain or less! Thanks and good luck.

Bailey is found on roof of a UB maintenance van. PP-WNY Fledge watchers work with the NYSDEC to rescue Bailey after it takes off and tried to land on a rooftop. It misses the landing and injures its leg/foot and it's clearly hobbled. A second attempt to fly to a slightly higher roof fails after it misses to clear the edge by an inch or so. Bailey is captured and take to the SPCA for assessment and observation.
