From what I can make out from chat, it sounds like Voyager has already returned home. There's one girl there & she was making quite a racket! (Probably doesn't like being there alone.) :girlsad3:

Edit: Now she's quiet--she's eating. One of her parents made a food drop while I was typing! :dancingegg:

WanderingFalcon (Carol P.): Voyager fledged!

(MAK): V was enticed to fledge ledge because B brought food to Ba on column above where he was mantling it. R joined and chased B off

(MAK): R and Ba now sharing food and V walked around the back of building to N side

(MAK): B on column above NB across from R and Ba. And V has made her way back to fledge ledge. CarolP,Larry,Jeanne,Lynda,Joyce,Donna,MAK

(MAK): B has twice tried to get food from Ba and R-they're not giving it up. lol

(MAK): V flew around circling above us in the hole and tried to land with B. Didn't make it and fluttered straight down toward the well

wnyfalconfan (Joyce): Beauty was flying on and off ledge where Ba and R have or had prey. One flew back to mini column above NB.

(Joyce): Pretty sure Baron back in new boy cave on the mini column. Rosetta on S ledge above fledge ledge where they ate food. Watchers say nite!

(Joyce): All 6 Rochester falcons seen today. Pigott is on west extension south side 3 floors down. It must have poured rain here. Lots of puddles.

Rosetta, apparently, took off quickly toward the river, but now they cannot find her. Shaky must be moving the cam to try and help locate.

Voyager and Baron are on well wall. I believe Beauty just arrived back on top of Pan Cam.

ETA: They've got her. She's on Crossroads!

After Voyager fledged last night, she tried to return to the porch but missed, circling over watchers then heading to the ledge above the wall where Beauty was. She missed her landing, falling down the wall, ending up in the alcove area below. When the nest box was placed a few years ago, a ramp was placed from the porch to the bottom of the well in case one of the eyases/fledglings fell into it so they could walk up it. Last night was the first time anyone had used the ladder for the reason it was placed!
This video shows Voyager fledging, attempting to return, trying again with a loud thud, and climbing up the ramp afterward.

Fledge: 8:04 PM
Failed return: 8:27 PM
Fall into well on 2nd attempt: 8:28 PM
Climb up ramp: 8:29:30 PM

MAKfalcon (MAK): All 3 juvies visible on Crossroads

WanderingFalcon (Carol P.): 2 of the juvies just chased dad off wing ledge.

While the other 2 are harrassing dad, looks like this is Voyager taking a rest on the Crossroads building.

I had the most fun reading all these updates!!!

You ladies have done an awesome job!!!!

I'm just trying to get caught up now, reading all the posts and looking at all the pictures and videos of the past few days. Thanks to all for the great updates!

It sure sounds as if all is going well with the fledglings, and that they're having fun chasing each other, etc. It was also nice to hear that the ladder ramp up to the nest box was put to good use by Voyager.
