Bird Cams Around the World

A new post from Chris Saladin about MO. Things are looking good...

To follow up the post from my phone, Laura Tuesday and the Vet believes that Mo’s injuries are consistent with a battle. He apparently had talon-sized wounds/gashes on his wings, many of which were sliced open and bleeding when Laura first got him. I need to correct one error in our first report—I found out it was Stark Co. Animal Rescue (not Stark Co. DOW) that picked up Mo and transported him to Laura (want to give the proper credit). Also, the person who saw Mo down and contacted Animal Rescue posted on the Canton Peregrine Falcons FB page, so I want to add a thank you here from us, too! Fortunately, Mo’s injuries are minor enough that he won’t be “out of the game” for long. If he doesn’t have any setbacks he could be returned to the nest site very soon (within a week). Laura and the Vet know the situation and will try to get him back quickly, as the four male eyases are likely to fledge within the first week of June. As posted previously, the main concern would be that an intruding male could try to knock down the young as they start to fledge, perceiving them to be threats as he tries to win over the territory. Went to Canton Tuesday for a couple hours—Mystic seemed to try to hunt the area rather than straying far and frequently coasted over the nest box to check in on the young from above. At one point she “kekked” and chased off an intruding eagle that was so far off I could only get one distant photo within the focus range of the camera/lens. So, she’s doing it all, as would be anticipated, and if an intruding peregrine is around she may not be receptive to him and could be driving him off in defense of her brood. Didn’t see an intruding peregrine while I was there, but as we posted previously it doesn’t mean that there isn’t one lurking around this nest site. I’ll keep adding pics and updates on FB and will keep updating here.
THANK YOU CHRIS!

good news.

hopefully he is ck sooner than later but the main thing is he is capable of protecting himself also so I am glad they are being cautious. Prayers here

Woo Hoo! Susan!!

Thanks for the info and links!

I was half afraid to open the cam this afternoon, It is very windy and hot...similar to last year when Peenie got blown off the building at this stage of developement....(He was rescued)

I think all four are there...

Mowhawk time!!

Uuummm .....Cheryl.......I hope you went to get that computer this evening!!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes a new one is better than trying to fix something that is broken!!!!

Great news about Mo. Hope all goes as planned & that he is back home with his family soon!

HI CHERYL!!

No more
Great coverage. Thanks everyone.

STOUT IS GLAD YOUR BACK TOO!!!!

Susan.

Glad to have you back, Cheryl ! We missed ya !

Been trying to keep up to date by only reading... SO... Thank you to all of you who post for keeping this lurking stalker up to date. Thoughts of a speedy "hurry back soon" to our main man... Maurice. Every-time I have gone to the cam today - the box was empty - including right this minute. Thanks again everyone.

Hi Suzette
Mom's home.



Mystic serves dinner on the deck

Matrix is downtown getting some photos. He thinks they'll go early, as in fledge watch starts tomorrow.

Chris posted an update on Mo's condition on their facebook page
5-30 Mo/Canton update: Talked to Laura and Mo is still with the vet, but due to return to the MRC for the weekend. She’ll see how he’s flying and if there are no concerns he will be returned to the nest site early next week (Monday or Tuesday), but that’s still an “IF” for now. The vet is a bit concerned about a bruise on his wing and how it will heal. As much as we all want to get him back there quickly, Mo will need to be healed enough to defend his territory, particularly if there’s another male around “testing” him. Meanwhile, we have the count at 34 days since the first hatch as of today, so the young should be fledging soon. The average fledge time frame from North American peregrines is said to be 37-45 days, with males likely going on the earlier end of that (as males develop faster than females). We’ve also seen inadvertent fledging many times, where the young either get overly excited as food comes in and try to take off, or they mistakenly lift off while preening or flapping with a gust of wind. So, be on the lookout if you’re around (Chad and I won’t be able to get there until Saturday after work and/or Sunday).

Cheryl you got great pics. Thanks for the heads up about times... no way are they allowed to go tomorrow Matrix... I have to meet some of you... before they fledge, otherwise we will be too busy looking for them.

Suzette ! Great to hear from you! I thought of you today - C&C said that from now on their posts about Akron's nest will be on their facebook page - or maybe you know that already? I hope to see some more posts from you ! Yes, I hope to see you on the garage roof too! LOL

The reason to start fledge watch...

He Actually slipped off the edge ...but recovered....









As I stated earlier in this thread...Peenie "fledged" too early last year and a passerby stood by long enough to keep him cornered on the steps... till C&C got there all the way from Cleveland....The man's wife thought something happened to him!!
Had he not been there.... Peenie likely would have been run over by a car......

Not necessarily they will fledge on purpose...but the one that lost his balance tonight is Good Reason to begin! Especially since they are not strong enough to keep altittude!

DID ANYONE JUST NOW SEE THAT METEORITE!!!!!!! DANG THAT WAS THE BIGGEST ONE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
