NE / Omaha - Woodmen Tower - 2009-21
Alison:
The little male chick from the Woodmen nest was returned to the nest after being cared for by Fontenelle Forest Recovery.
However, not too long afterwards a chick was once again missing from the nest. It turned out to be the little male once again. He was not seen for a little over two days. He was found on the sidewalk and taken back to Fontenelle Forest Raptor Recovery for further care.
A Woodmen Tower peregrine falcon update: One of the chicks (banded H57) is currently in our care after being found on the sidewalk last night. He is otherwise healthy, but may have an issue with his eyesight that is effecting his ability to fledge and find his own food. We've made an appointment with a special veterinary optometrist to check his vision and will post an update when new information is available.
Back in rehab for the second time, he still looks too young to fledge:
Alison:
One of the four Woodmen chicks fell from the nest and was taken to Fontenelle Forest's Raptor Recovery yesterday.
Fortunately, it seems that the little guy is okay.
The male chick from the Woodmen Tower is doing well and will return to its home later this afternoon. He appears to be unscathed from his adventure and will be back in the nest very soon.
It is now being posted on the Fontenelle Forest site that another chick has fallen from the nest.
When I checked the Woodmen site a few minutes ago, there were three chicks in the nest. One parent was perched on the other nest box; looked like Charity.
I hope someone in Omaha is watching over the chicks in case there is one on the ground. They are not yet ready to fledge.
Alison:
Updating this thread a little bit:
Charity and Mintaka incubated four eggs. All four hatched, and there are now four beautiful big chicks. The chicks, three females and one male, were banded on May 27. Charity was taken inside with the chicks, and they took the opportunity to band her also. She now has a silver band on the right leg, and black over red 48/U on the left.
RCF:
These two also have an Easter egg!!
The Peregrine Chick:
She looks like Trey's family ... ;D
