Jo:
Wonderful closeup of little Sis snuggling up to the ledge wall in that wee bit of shade (a couple of minutes ago).
Great commentary from everyone about the happenings on the ledge and information about falcon behavior. So nice to see photos / screen shots of recent events.
TPC, Dennis, bccs - do you sleep! Thank you all so much.
The Peregrine Chick:
I have to step away for a bit - am posting some info on the fledge watch board before I go though ..
Saoirse:
Reassuring to see Trey keeping watch over Little Charmer -- and thanks, TPC, for the information about the parents' behaviour with past fledglings. We all know the grim statistics, so it's especially good to know that these first flights are being closely monitored by the parents.
The Peregrine Chick:
For those of you wondering how we know that the "Little Charmer" is on the Paris Building, check out Dennis' photos and you can see the chick on the vent ... Dennis and Bccs watched him drop to the roof and there has been no movement caught either by the fledge watchers or the camera since then. And it is common practice of the adults to go sit near one of the fledged chicks on fledging day ... or at least it is common with these two ... I've seen this same activity with all their fledges in the first few days ...
Since the wind is calm, if/when the chick comes back into view on the Paris Building, that there is a pretty decent chance that he will try to fly back to either the nestledge or the Parkade roof if his brother is still there ... the chicks tend to hang around together after fledging, some more than others, and there seems to be no gender bias ...
