What a relief to read that Dotca has been rescued. We do agonize over these kids, don't we?

I bet this is the time he wishes he had only one site. Well, you have to say he did a goo job of keeping both going, but part was due to the great females at both of these sites.

Wish I could give Magdalene a hug for her efforts in saving Blackberry. :loveheart2:

Thank goodness she didn't just toss him over like the animal control people recommended.

can you believe that animal control would say something like that.

I would like to get that persons name and number.

Sounds like Blackberry is very lucky to have landed on the right balcony. Do most people in the area know what a falcon is? Not many in Richmond know they have falcons around...

you know CArly, remember Tracy said that Radisson went missing shortly after fledge. they never saw her or heard of her. and then she turned up in Edmonton. He just may be stronger and further out and being helped still.

I know I will be experiencing this soon, and have to prepare myself.
It is different with Spirit at Columbus because she had just fledged, but some of these youngsters catch on real quick.
Our yellow band was such a quick learner last year.

carly, I know how hard/frustrating it is when one just disappears. That happened this year with Hatton . . . we just don't know. I hope your Mercedes turns up soon.

July 9 update

Mom & The Boys

July 09, 2010 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Kathy Reports:
Today finally brought some relief from the heat wave and some much needed rain. It also brought out the falcons! They haven’t been seen as much compared to past years partly due to the oppressive heat. I see them at around 7:00 am in the morning chasing mom for food and Baylie has reported seeing them in the evenings. Like humans, they are scarce during the high heat of the day. They were having a blast this morning, playing tag, locking talons and chasing mom around the buildings. It was a joy to hear their excited screams!

Sadly, for the past two weeks both Baylie and I have only seen two juveniles. We had a storm two weeks ago Sunday and since then one of the boys hasn’t been seen. We have had no reports of any falcons down so that is encouraging and it is not unheard of that some young disperse early and until we hear otherwise I will remain optimistic. I also have not seen Jack at all for the past week however that is not unusual. I am surprised though at how little involvement he has had with the juveniles training compared to past years.

Mom is doing 95% of the work which includes defending her nest site area. She’s doing an outstanding job, both boys are flying really well and look very strong and healthy!

I am so excited about Mackenzie, if he can make it then this bunch surely can as we had such a challenging time with Mac...still remember sitting in that lawn chair under the tree he was stuck in and talking to him and showing him how to 'flap'. :lol:

I wonder if he will remember me :callonme:

I'm excited for you Carly. Just wonderful that you have word of your Mackenzie.

HE'LL REMEMBER YOU.....JUST 'FLAP' AT HIM! :yip
