My gut feeling is that Blue was very ready to fly. BUT it was in the mid 90s here yesterday, and he may have completely run out of gas.

There's a juvie on the point right now. Also a Tweet from DEP on the website. I don't know how to share the Tweet.

Got downtown a little before 4:00. Some complete stranger flagged me down to let me know that one of our falcons was sitting on a window ledge in the small alley next to the 5th Street Garage. Nobody saw him land there, so we don't know for sure how long he was there. Several of us watched him for a LONG time. To make a long story short, Blue has been safely rescued. I have no further details.


So happy that he was released, but such a bummer that he needed to be rescued again. Hope it was just the heat..he's still a novice at this.. :egg19:

Here's the tweet:

    During a subsequent flight yesterday, blue-banded male possibly had a collision. The #HbgFalcon is okay and at Red Creek Wildlife Center.

These 2 tweets were posted yesterday in response to Blue's release:

    jlreed (16h): Hi just 45 min ago, there was a falcon resting in the 1st story window ledge of the apt bldg across from the 5th Street garage. What's wrong?

    Ann Marie (15h): He's on my window sill! He's looking in the window watching Gilmore Girls. Other than that, he might be tired.

There's a juvie on the ledge eating behind the orange post. A few moments ago he was on the stick clutching that food. Drug it across the ledge. Saw a second falcon on the ledge briefly, but couldn't tell if it was an adult or juvie. The juvie is White.

White is back on the point periodically napping and periodically screaming at Little Dad on the stick. Little Dad is not paying much attention to the screaming.

FALCONWIRE:



6/15/2017 :: Update on "Blue"
Yesterday, the blue-banded falcon received an x-ray, and it was discovered the male has an underdeveloped liver, which may explain the slow growth and feather development. At this point, the final prognosis is unclear, the current plan is to continue observation to see if "Blue" can be returned to the wild or remain in captivity as an education bird. - See more at: http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/falcon/f ...

Just got home and read the Falcon Wire. This certainly explains a lot of things. Thank goodness MANY of us who are concerned were there when we were needed the most. And kudos to those taking care of him.

Spent about an hour downtown tonight for some falcon watching. Those two juvies were soaring around in the breeze, barely moving their wings, at times chasing the adults. One of them landed on the top of a little white dome shaped roof of a church over on Chestnut Street. I've never seen any juvie over there before. Niecey came in to roost on the top louver ledge behind 333 before I left, and Little Dad was still on top of 333. The two juvies were up there somewhere, but since I was alone, I wanted to leave before it was dark.

Tuned in to the cam a bit ago to find a juvie sitting calmly partly out on the stick. Very gloomy here this morning and looks like it could rain.

A juvie has been over at the column for a while and Little Dad on the shield. Juvie just moved to show that he has some food. Little Dad keeping an eye on him.
