State Capitol - 2016 / 19K & Alley
Alison:
There are no new updates yet on 19/K. I hope there will be one soon.
Meantime, his son Dinan is now hunting for himself. Alley continues to teach him all kinds of skills. She spends countless hours with him daily and has now taught him how to do mid-air prey transfers successfully. What a remarkable falcon she is, working tirelessly with Dinan and watching over him always.

I’m very happy to hear that 19/K is progressing so well! Thank you for all of the updates, Alison.

Today's update on the progress of 19/K, from Fontenelle Forest Raptor Recovery:
A quick 19/K (Lincoln capitol building peregrine falcon) update.. He has been upgraded to a larger flight pen this week. It's taller and longer (20 feet), and will allow him to continue to stretch his wings and get acclimated to flying again.
We estimate it will be about two to three weeks before he moves to the large flight complex (60 feet). Small steps, but so far so good!
Alison:
Last night Lincoln was under a severe thunderstorm watch, with the potential for large hail, damaging winds, and heavy rain.
I had checked the cams to see if by chance Dinan had come home for the night, but no sign of him.
Lightning filled the sky and continued for hours. I hope that Dinan and Alley found a safe place to spend the night.
Alison:
An update on 19/K as of four hours ago from Fontenelle Forest Raptor Recovery. It is really good that they are allowing him to progress gradually in his recovery.
A quick 19/K update from our rehabilitation center.. He continues to do well and has been moved from an acclimation pen to a small flight pen. The acclimation pen is utilized to allow the bird time to get used to moving on its own again without too much space to move around in. Once the bird is acclimated, we move it to a small flight pen where we can begin to monitor its ability to fly.
We'll keep everyone updated on 19/K's status as he progresses through rehabilitation.
