Pam:
Their lungs are sure getting stronger!  They're starting to sound a lot more like mom & dad.  Is it just me, or is there less food coming in fromthe restaurant?

JL:
Good point. 

Am I imagining things but do males have a different call than the females?  The high pitched screech being the female and the quick, more like duck quacks, male?  Or do they make both types of sounds?

carly:
The feed the chicks alot during the first month so they will grow.  Now you will notice a cut down on food to slim them down and prepare them for flight. I did see that with our pair here and the mom is really slim and now that the chicks are juvies they have gotten much sleeker than they used to be.  I did ask the same thing about them falling out of the ledge and that was the reply I got - having said that I think you are right about the talons and grabbing them.  I have seen mom and dad here get under their wings when they first fledged to encourage them upwards though..which was pretty cool.

Liz:
But they're not trying to save them -- they're trying to do damage!   ;D

JL:
I've seen pictures of falcons grabbing prey out of midair that are a fair size.  But that'll be really something to see though.
