BROCK TAKES FLIGHT!!!

A few seconds after 12:08:33 (the photo here) he took off on a series of short flights, touching down on the Thomson building roof twice, then coming to rest on a 5th floor window ledge of the Stelco tower (out of view of our camera).... We will keep you posted on what happens next!

Laura came back to the nest to spend the evening with Brock.  She is a lovely looking peregrine.  If I knew how, I would post her photo.

Quite a distance away from the nest, at least four large city blocks.
