allikat:
So now what happens Carly?

I guess he will have to get some courage and try to fly.  Hope all is well!
Good luck little guy!

bcbird:
Really? The parents won't feed him, just because he is too low?

carly:
When I left he was still in the tree.  There are people there until sunset so maybe they will post something later.  The parents won't go down that low to feed him.  They did fly in the air with food in their talons to try and get him to fly out and follow them but he didn't budge.  So he wasn't fed and fledged at about 8:30 so he must be hungry. 

He is in a tree but on the lower branch.  I'm not good at judging distance but he's about the same height up as Screech was last year when she landed on the Bell building - only about 2 stories up which is low for a falcon.

bcbird:
Carly, do you know yet whether he made it out of the tree, or was fed there?

carly:
The neck is better, my nose is all sunburnt though...I could give Rudolph a run for his money  ;D

I had it easy, the lady at the house brought me a nice lawn chair, some water and some cookies  :D.  It's the CPF staff that do all the hard work - really they do.  One man, Bruce has been there pretty much from dusk to dawn for the past 3 days.  He doesn't go home for dinner like me and get to relax. Honestly I don't have the stamina, I wilt like a flower but these guys are there at about 4:45 in the morning and stay until the sun goes down.  And they will go to all the other fledge watches in the city and do it all over again.

I wanted to climb the tree and get him out, he looked so forlorn there and hungry too - he hasn't eaten today at all.  But he sure is a beautiful bird, closest I've ever been to a juvie.
