The Peregrine Chick:
Am hijacking the cam to look for Dixon - couldn't find him anywhere so likely he's fine and tucking down for the night.
Checked the recorder and he was chasing a parent as they buzzed by which is exactly what we want them to do! He is somewhere between 39 and 41 days old, so more than old enough to take his first flight - I suspect he stayed this long because of his sisters!
Lots of folks are all primed to watch out for downed chicks, so if he does run into trouble, he's likely to be reported quickly!

She's back and the male is gone. Just flew off like he knew exactly what he was doing.

I saw that Susha, but I could hear the parents screaming and the noise at the back door before he left (so maybe that caused him to leave). At least he appeared to fly off, rather than falling. However, with the video freezing so much today it’s very difficult to know for sure.

I know, Burdi, the freezing is very frustrating! I've been fortunate this afternoon at work and then and this evening at home...all seems to be smooth...
susha:
The parents were screaming as TPC came to the box to release the girl, then he flew off quite deliberately, likely because TPC was at the box, but I think he was ready. Definitely didn't fall like his sister...
Who continues to hang off the edge and flap her wings ::)

So glad you caught that!
