Very quick ground report: one falcon close to the top of the WNIT Tower right now. I think this is a juvie because parent Zeus likes to perch on the very top, the better to keep an eye on his "teenagers" and their wanderings.

And I'm sure marineof2 would be willing to join me in saying THANK YOU to all of you for your support at this challenging time. THis board is a special place.

And thank you for the pics !! Without them I might not have known for several days that both juvies made it through the storm.

Yes. Zeus showed himself last year as a very hands on, or should I say "talons on" father. Yesterday in the late afternoon, he was giving someone a flying lesson. The two birds took off from the County City Building and circled round and round. It looked like Zeus may have been demonstrating how to catch an updraft. Those updrafts sure save flapping ! Today he was perched on his favorite corner of the Building as I drove past.

NEVER CAUGHT ANY FALCONS ON CAM TODAY.

I had never heard that about a new female coming into the territory too soon, but it makes perfect sense Bev. But anytime maybe after September do you think would be okay and safe for the juvies?
