Sorry ...........my mistake.... she is in the nest.  With the time delay on the camera it is hard to see exactly what has taken place.  Apologies!  ::)

Seems like Froona has had her afternoon siesta..........seems intent on either flying or maybe just trying to keep cool!

Please tell me she is in the nest with the mess

Yes she is.  I wasn't sure at first but she was in the far corner and now is more in the centre.

Thanks so much for the updates everyone.  You sure seem to have your hands full.   :o

Glad we are not having that problem here.  Will be sending positive vibes from this end   :-*

A last note before I leave - Mr. Red is small, and has a very calm attitude

I found the boys to be easy to pick up as well but wait until you meet Froona..lol..the females tend not to have a very calm attitude  :o   ;D


Tell Bev to drink some wine at said event and enjoy herself  :-*

A last note before I leave - Mr. Red is small, and has a very calm attitude - last night when I picked him up, he just acted like this was a normal event in his life.  As he is so small, I believe it will take him longer to get his wings, and he is such a little beauty, I sure want to see him soar in the skies.

Bev is supposed to go with Peter to a special event today, and I do hope she will go, as the falcons are taking over her life, and she needs a break.  She has been at the site every day, all day, since Monday, and all this takes its toll.

Will report later, after my stint down at the CSB.

Thanks Eli..I must have posted same time as your post went up.  I know what it's like to be that exhausted but you dont' want to leave.  When my little Mac flew off in the dark - they had to all but drag me into the car to go home.  They just get into your heart and you don't want to leave them until you know they are safe.   :-*

 Have a good day today and sure glad you are there with Bev and Peter.

Sounds like this family is having a challenging time with flying.   And yes the maintenance would certainly scare them...I'm glad Bev has set them straight.  I wonder if Mr White tried to fly up on the buildings and the men scared him and he's in another area somewhere... :-\  

I saw Froona freaking out this morning and saw the other falcon fly over her..lol..poor girl but at least it got her outside.  She needs to practice her flapping for a few days!

Thank you for taking the time to update us Peter, I know you guys must all be exhausted.  Please give our best to Bev and Eli and take care of yourselves.

Wow!  Sounds like we missed quite an evening.  You guys sure got your exercise.  Is Bev over there now?  What am I saying -- of course she is!  It's going to be a hot one today, so anyone going over, please remember the sunscreen and water.  And shoes to run in because it sounds like you'll need them.

It could be quite interesting tomorrow evening when we're over -- it looks like Black is ready to go.  Still no sign of White?
