NJ / Jersey City - 2008-21
Alison:
BM/18 fledged yesterday, and her first flight was a good one. She flew well again this morning, and returned to the roof parapet.
BM/17 is about to be returned to the roof:
Hey all, Kathy will be placing BM/17 back on the roof in the next half hour. We'll be watching to see how 18 reacts. So far she has been flying well but still remaining on the rooftop ledge/parapets. 17 has been in a flight cage and can fly, so Kathy will try to wet her down so that she cannot fly right off the bat.
Alison:
Good news: according to the site, BM/13 has no major injuries.
This is the area where the chicks usually spend time running, jumping, wing flapping and making short flights before they actually fledge.
Alison:
The cams are back up. A view of the roof, with no one in view at the moment.
Alison:
The cams were down all day yesterday, and are still down. BM/18 spent the day in and out of the nest box. This morning she has made it up to the parapet.
BM/17 will be returned to the nest on Tuesday. No update yet on the condition of BM/13.
Alison:
New update from NJPefa an hour ago:
BM/13, the falcon missing between Sunday and Friday afternoon, is being evaluated at The Raptor Trust. We know she was being fed by her parents because she's not thin. She'll be x-rayed on Monday to see if there are any injuries.
I am glad she was taken to the Raptor Trust, where her sister is also being cared for. Perhaps at some point they will be able to see or hear each other.
Meantime, BM/18 spent the night just to the right of the nest box, on the ledge. In the morning she went back into the nest. Came out onto the roof for a little while and is currently back in the nest.
