Equally good news is that Brock weighed in at 744 grams, clearly a female weight, so we can use 'her' and 'she' from now on!

Interesting that they should be sure of the gender by weight ... 744g is still within the range of males (500 - 800) but chicks do tend to be at the lighter end of the range ... I'm sure they are right it's just intersting is all. Brock is going to have to chat with Annie about living with the names human give them. :)

Thanks for the update RCF. Glad to hear Brock is alright.

BROCK IS BACK AND SHE IS A SHE!!!
Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - Falconwatch Coordinator Rachael Belford reports: After getting a clean bill of health Brock was brought back to Hamilton and released on the Sheraton roof, not far from the nest ledge, at 11:37 today. Equally good news is that Brock weighed in at 744 grams, clearly a female weight, so we can use 'her' and 'she' from now on! Based on past rescues and releases, Brock will explore the Sheraton roof a bit, find her way over to the TV camera area and likely, but not absolutely, hop or fly back to the nest ledge. Stay tuned!!

BROCK BREAKS AWAY!!!
Monday, July 15, 2013 - Falconwatch Coordinator Cheryl Dobell reports: A few seconds after 12:08:33 (the photo here) Brock starting running at the west end of the nest ledge and never stopped!!!! Brock first flew to the upper roof of the Thomson building, then dropped down to the next lower roof and next flew to the sixth floor level of the Stelco building where he landed on the window ledge. An hour or so later, possibly startled by someone inside Stelco, Brock slid down the side of the building to the second floor window ledge. Another hour later Brock tried to fly to the Thomson building but wound up on the lowest Thomson roof. Just before 21:00 Brock flew across King Street and landed on a stairway behind Hamilton Place and was taken in hand by our Rescue team. Brock is OK, but after yesterday's adventures has been taken to a medical facility for routine precautionary observation. We will update Falconwatchers via the Web and Facebook pages when we have news.

Thanks for keeping us updated about these two RCF. The size difference isn't quite as noticeable in your last photo.
