Checked the cam a bit ago to find two chicks in the box and two up on the ledge. One chick in the box was doing some major preening, and pulled out beakful after beakful of white fluff. All are back in the box now.

Breakfast just arrived! Red Girl was feeding 2 of the kids while the other 2 attempted to self-feed.

But now all the kids are gathered around Red Girl for second helpings.

Up on the ledge this morning: Three of the kids were enjoying the sights while the fourth was finishing off the remains from breakfast.

Image


Yesterday at the fledge watch training session, we saw Red Girl on the roof of the Nemours building and two of the kids up on the ledge. Then we saw Red Girl fly off and chase away a turkey vulture that had ventured into her air space.

The fledge watch starts this Wednesday.

Just checked the cam to find two sacked out birds and one standing. Then one that was standing also sacked. They still have a lot of fluff. For comparison, our chicks in Harrisburg are TOTALLY feathered, with one male having a slight Mohawk. As of noon on Monday, none of our birds have fledged. Wishing you all the best of luck in Wilmington.

First fledge this morning! Kim was spot on when she chose today as the first day of the fledge watch.

Kim, Dave N, and I got to see Dynamo, the red-banded male, take off to the sky around 8:10 a.m. He had a great first flight, gaining altitude and flying around the antenna building that Red Girl likes (sorry, I don't know the building's name) before heading back and landing on the Nemours Building. He had fun exploring the roof, the air conditioning units, and the ledges. When I left around 10, he was still there.

Kim got a video of Red Band taking off from the nest box. It's posted on the Wilmington Falcons Facebook page.

I do know that both males have fledged. So far so good with them. Earlier one of the girls was underneath the little ledge below the nest box. Box was empty when I checked a bit ago.

:egg19: Good news from the Wilmington falcons fledge watch! All the kids have fledged:

    Red band (male) on 5/25
    Yellow band (male) on 5/26, although this might have been an accidental fledge
    Blue band (female) on 5/27
    Green band (female) early this morning

All of the falcons - the 2 adults and 4 fledglings - were accounted for this morning when I was there. So everything has been a success so far.

Read on the Facebook page a bit ago that all four have been accounted for after one was not seen for a while.
