Annual Wilmington Falcon Rooftop Gala - June 12, 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.

If you're in Wilmington, this is a not-to-be-missed event with lots of opportunities to see the parents and fledglings fly about the town. And this year's event is special as the new Wilmington male will get a name!

I got to the parking garage at 5:00 this morning. White and Blue were together on one ledge of Brandywine Building and Yellow was on the ledge under nest box. They were all screaming for breakfast. Around 5:20 one of the adults came in with breakfast and the three kids started chasing after him/her.

I did not see Orange so I was hoping she had a really early breakfast and was napping. When Sharon and I still hadn't seen her a couple hours later, she walked the streets in the area. Around 9:00 I went to the office and scanned from the 19th floor but the only kids I saw were B, W and Y, all perched next to each other on an antenna on the Nemours Building.

I finally left around 10:00 without having seen her. I'm really hoping she's just laying low and we'll see her tonight.

I forgot to post this yesterday . . .

Kim said the kids were putting on quite the show last night and that White Band was starting to chase birds.

True to an extent but it doesn't always give you peace of mind that all is okay. The parents were both on the Brandywine Building in their usual posts which meant one of two things to me, either Orange was in view or she was dead. Fortunately it was the former and not the latter.

All kids were still doing well this morning! I posted some photos of a food drop from Red Girl to Yellow on the Facebook page if anyone wants to see them. Sorry but I would have to resize them all to post here!

Thanks so much for the link, Kim. Those pictures of the food transfer between Red Girl and Yellow are wonderful. I can't believe that Yellow has already mastered that skill. And it was good to hear that White is not only chasing birds but diving after them. These Wilmington kids are certainly well on their way to becoming masters of the sky.

I decided to give the new guy a name rather than having a contest. I think he should be called Trinity since he's the third male that we know of to raise kids in Wilmington. Technically they aren't his but he's still raising them. :)
Also, Trinity Church is right down the road from the nest box.

:agree: Trinity sounds like a very good name (with some very good reasons) for our new male! Thanks Kim.

Kim, That is a beautiful name for Him. It brought tears to my eyes. After all, you are the one that should have the position to do so.

TRINITY it is!!

Also Trinity and Red go together well!
