State Capitol - 2016 / 19K & Alley
Alison:
Dinan continues to fly like a champion. Alley has been teaching him all kinds of flight skills as she flies with him. What a great teacher she is.
There has been a drone seen near the nest on two occasions recently. These things are really dangerous to birds and there are more and more of them being seen near active nests. >:(

Oh I sure hope so, Alison. “Papa” will be very proud of Dinan for his flying ability and of Alley for watching over him so well.
Of course, we knew she could manage. :)
Alison:
I too hope for a complete recovery for 19/K (known to many people simply as "Papa").
Meantime, his son, Dinan, has been flying extremely well and has been making good landings. He has been all over the Capitol building, and has been exploring the surrounding area, watched over closely by his Mom, Alley. This morning he headed for a hotel, with Alley in hot pursuit.
Dinan has also flown back to the nest box, and a couple of nights ago, stayed there for the night.
There are some great people on the ground in Lincoln spending long hours watching out for him.
I hope he will be around for a while, so that his Dad will be able to see him fly.

Thank you for posting this news, Alison, and thank you to Fontenelle Forest’s Raptor Recovery. I will definitely keep my fingers crossed for 19K. I often find myself very attached to some of the older resident birds, and this latest news has really made my day.
He's so handsome it's breathtaking!
carly:
Oh he's a handsome tiercel, I hope he recovers well and is able to soar the skies again.
