The Peregrine Chick:
Wow, female has lost most of her downy feathers overnight!! Guess her brother told her he planned to fledge without her and has decided to get ready as soon as possible.
Seriously though, chicks are 38 days old today, by 40 days she will be old enough to fledge successfully though a few more days of wingercizing would help ensure she is strong enough. And it wouldn't hurt her brother to get stronger as well. Ideally we'd like both of them to stay above street level so hope for light winds so they don't have one more thing to figure out "on the fly" ...
The Peregrine Chick:
0925h - male is lying down napping on the ledge edge (unnerving!) and the female seems to have lost a bunch of downy feathers overnight! This week looks like fledge week - today the youngest chick are 38 days old ... we don't know who is the youngest so we age them both at 38 days.
If folks want to be involved in fledgewatch (a little or a lot) just send me a PM and I will add you to the fledgewatch board - this board is private because folks often need to discuss details that are important but don't need to be public.
The Peregrine Chick:
