Update on Jemison:

July 10:

June Summers, President of the Genesee Valley Audubon Society, and Rochester Falconcam member Carol Phillips paid a visit to Jemison and provided the picture above, along with a report of her progress so far. She continues to be feisty and is eating everything given to her. Jemison also enjoyed the cooling spray of water that you can see in the picture at the left.

All hopes are that her injured shoulder will heal quickly. Her wing continues to return to a normal position, and another rehabber who looked at Jemison couldn’t even detect an injury, so that’s very good news. We’ll be sure to keep you updated as to Jemison’s progress.

The DEC has made arrangements to transport Jemison to the same rehab facility outside of Syracuse, New York, which was so instrumental in nursing Mariah back to health. They have over 30 years’ experience treating falcons and returning them back to the skies. Their facility includes a very large flight cage where Jemison will be able to practice flying.

The Rochester Falconcam wants to extend our sincere and heartfelt thanks to Gary and all the staff at Black Creek Wildlife Center, and especially to Dr. Parsons. Also to Terry and the good folks at Wild Wings for supplying some falcon-appropriate food on short notice. Our gratitude also goes to Dr. Gerald Balonek at the East Ridge Animal Hospital, where Jemison was taken by Rochester Animal Control. Without the selflessness of all involved, Jemison’s outlook could have been much worse.

We’re also grateful to the DEC’s Mike Allen, Jenny Landry, and Barb Loucks for their advice and assistance, and to the Rochester Police Dept. and Rochester Animal Control, both for Jemison’s initial rescue and for letting MAK, our on-scene watcher at the time, know of Jemison’s condition.

And finally, a huge “thank you” to our volunteer fledge watchers, who have spent many hours on the “front lines” keeping an eye on all of the falcons, especially our newest flyers. It is their dedication that helps to ensure positive outcomes for the fledglings in Rochester, and gives them the best opportunity to lead successful lives as masters of the sky.

Jem in his carrier...

Hmmmm...another Blue Boy! :-) Very cute picture--thanks for posting the update, SGB! Glad to hear that this facility also has a flight cage so Jemison can be watched when its time for him to try to fly again.

I went to the Fledge Watchers' Weekend last weekend. The flying was amazing. The falcons held off until we got there, then they went crazy with great flying, food transfers overhead and Callidora even made a stoop right in front of us.

The unofficial report on Jemison is that things are looking very good and s/he could be back within a few weeks.

Here is a link to my pictures. I'll post some stills later for those who can't get this:

Thanks, guys. I love the talon chewing, too. I checked to make sure she didn't have part of a pigeon there, but no. It was just her toes.

Update on Jemison:

Jemison “Doing Well”, More X-Rays Scheduled

July 22nd, 2010
We’ve heard from the rehabber taking care of Jemison. She’s doing very well, and she’s scheduled for an x-ray tomorrow. The radiograph should give them an idea of how well Jemison’s broken bone has healed. We’ll let you know as soon as we hear the results of the x-ray.

I couldn't be happier to post this good news tonight from Imprints about handsome Jemison!

:spingirl:
"Jemison’s Prognosis: Looking Good
According to the latest from the rehabber taking care of Jemison she is beginning to heal. The broken bone in her shoulder is re-calcifying. Calcium is essential for bone strength so this is very good news. She’s feeding herself, another good sign.

The next stop for Jemison is a two-week stint in a large flight cage where she can exercise her wings. Then more x-rays will be taken to see how things stand."

......wait a minute (?!?) Why is the writer saying "she'. I thought it was determined that Jemison was a Mister? I must have missed something...

Here is a link to 9 pretty wonderful photographs of Callidora and Beauty in an aerial food exchange;



(The photographs were taken by Don and reported by Suzanne on the FalconWatch blog on July 29th.)

The fifth photo is stunning.
And you can clearly see that Beauty is moulting, the long tail feather in the middle is just growing back. Also some of her wing feathers seem to be new and not yet full-sized.
You can comment in the Picasa album by the way, right below each picture, I did leave some words to express my admiration. :lol:

Bonnie - Thanks so much for your video of highlights of the Fledge Watchers Weekend. The falcons really did put on a show for you and the others!

Mick - Thanks for the link to those incredible food-exchange photos!
