That's the job the rookies get :P
He sat on that branch with his talons clamped to it while 2 jays kept trying to attack him. They harassed him on and off all afternoon while I sat there and kept an eye on him and that's how I left. I think mom knows where he is because I saw her circling way up high in the sky above the tree but he's down too low. Hopefully he will make a move out of there soon as high winds and rain are coming tonight.
The other one will no doubt fledge cause i'm not there now :P

How is your "falcon neck" today, Carly? That job is probably tougher than you make it sound. Thanks for giving us this report.
carly:
Yay..I see mom on cam beak feeding the other 2. She must not want them to go out especially with other one not in a really safe place and rain coming. I love falcon parents, they are just the best :-*
eagle63_1999:
Quite the afternoon you spent Carly! Excellant!
Pchemist:
that would give me heartburn, carly! I sometimes envy those who get to see more than what I can on the cam, and other times am grateful I only have to read about stuff after the fact...
carly:
Well of course we had first fledge today while I was on the subway to get there *sigh*, missed the first one again. Number 2 male looks ready to go now too but I had to come home - need to eat :P

He apparently had a nice first flight to some lower condos, when I got there he was perched on the owl and then he jumped down and ran around the roof a bit. Then he came flying through the 2 towers, turned and tried to gain height but missed the ledge and hit the glass - my heart skipped a beat! Two other birds - not sure what kind were on his tail, parents swooped down and drove one into the glass and that one didn't come back up. Our fledgling - I think it is Perry - flew up over the 4 lane traffic and I thought I saw him try to land on a roof but it was full of pigeons. I ran around the building and by that time Bruce had located him in the tree. Two crows were on him and it's the screaming birds that alerted us all to him so we ran over, got permission to enter person's yard and crows fortunately left.
