6/13/2012 :: News from the Nest Ledge!
The new adult female falcon has been in the scrape with the male apparently pair-bonding. She is a large falcon from the PA/NJ Turnpike Delaware River Bridge in Bucks County, PA, and was banded on May 21, 2009, by the PA Game Commission.
6/7/2012 :: Female Falcon Update
This afternoon, an adult female peregrine was observed on the ledge. The female is banded. Based upon her alphanumeric band codes, she is from the PA/NJ Turnpike Delaware River Bridge in Bucks County, PA. She was banded on May 21, 2009, by the PA Game Commission. Both fledges are doing well, and improving their hunting skills.
SusanE:
The two boys are flying well but continue to return to the ledge, so they continue to be seen on camera occasionally.
The new female has been visiting the ledge more and more the last couple of days, and does not appear to be interfering with the juveniles. She has been identified as a 2009 hatch from the PA/NJ Turnpike Bridge, making her the niece of Harrisburg's "Mom." :-*
RCF:
Thanks for the update Linder, thumbs up for these two. :)

6/4/2012 :: Fledgling Update
Both of the fledglings have been observed in flight, at times with the adult male, getting advance lessons. They are being fed at the ledge occasionally. They have reached to the point now where they are capable of receiving in-flight food exchanges. They're developing their skills rapidly. There have been no reported sightings of any other adult peregrine appearing at or near the ledge.
It is good to hear that the female that was hanging around and interfering with the fledglings has disappeared. Much safer for Red and Blue. Once the boys have left the ledge for good maybe she will return.
Linder:
Red took his first short flight around 7:25AM Monday, around to aberdeen side, clung to the side of the Carson bldg, flew off towards Market, circled around and back to the ledge.
Today Red left the ledge had a few problems trying to land on various buildings and finally ended up in a tree and then finally grounded on the sidewalk. He was rescued and returned to the ledge.
