Hi Everyone. I was overwhelmed with all the negative posts on Facebook, so I came here, to where I know there is a ton more experience :) I'm hoping he/she gets turned right side up, that everything will work out and he'll makes it to full fledge. My only concern, is how sharp his little talons are, and how he's kicking Dorothy, often in the face. I worry that she could end up wounded. Keeping my fingers crossed...

Hi Lorgayle--its good to see you! I was also wondering how soon the nails grow into a chick's talons because of the way he is kicking & sometimes unintentionally kicking Dorothy. It doesn't seem like Dorothy is concerned about that (she doesn't act like its causing her pain) so either he doesn't have talons yet or her feathers are protecting her.

I also agree with you, Bev!

posted this just now:

I am posting this via a Falcon expert for years up in Canada if this is offending then so be it & delete. Thank you for reading it.

No one knows if this is a birth defect. Why , because no one has checked. I have watched this wee one non stop and seen its progress. It walked , by itself ,out of cam view yesterday Great job. it is in a depression of bowl and has been scrunched in there by mom.( Dorothy is just dong what she thinks is best, not senile). every time it tried to get up it was scrunched down. I watched it right itself yesterday, when adult was not around. It was not in the depression .

Shame on the authorities for doing nothing. they are going up to band anyway, go up now and check it out. How cruel. Don't hide behind the nature comments. If out in nature , something needs help , we help it.
Give the chick a chance.

And some of the comments made about Dorothy,. She is not senile. Things happen. she has earned the right to be here and to stay here. older than her have had healthy chicks. Richmond had a few tough years but we all cheered on their successes and stood behind them in sadness. WE did not wait for a younger falcon to come in and take the adults place. Shame on those making the comments.

Blast away at me. I am tough. I am not just a casual watcher. I am well versed in the ways of falcons. I choose right now to not watch for awhile because I do not support those who will not help. We are not out in nature. They are where they can be helped.

God bless you Dorothy and her chick.

OK...I must be blind...where did you post this, KF...which FB page...

I'm not seeing anything come up in the Pittsburgh Falconuts group. I wonder if this is one of those groups where a moderator has to approve the comments before they post. :egg16:

I've posted in this group before and its never been a "mod approved" page...maybe they've changed it based on this situation?

I don't know...heck, why not...You're as much of a Falcon expert as she is, maybe more..I generally respect what she has to say (and I don't disrespect it now), but its like she has removed all emotion from her blog entry and FB comments...maybe she feels she needs to do this for whatever reason.

I still can't find the FB post...

I didn't know that either! Thanks, MW! And thank you to Bev & Kitten!

I also have a lot of respect for what Kate says, BUT I think there is also something to be said for people who watch a ton of cams every year & learn a whole lot from watching. We've learned never to say never.
