One of the parents brought food and Beatrix grabbed it and ran. The boys didn't even attempt to take it away..........smart boys. :sunsmile:

Fun video, SGB! Young falcons sure do love playing in water puddles or in the rain.

Nice to hear that these babies have lots of room to run & play and to strengthen their wings! :sunsmile:

Carson and Fyfe both fledged at the same time this morning about 5:30 am. They have located Fyfe on a roof top and are still looking for Carson. I will update when I hear more.

a few people in Winnipeg were going down this morning ,in case of an early fledge.

Biologist Tracy reports that there is still no sign of Carson, but the fact that Princess is not around the site right now could mean that she knows where he is, and is keeping an eye on him and feeding him. We await further reports.

Oh dear, I hope they can find Carson soon.

They still haven't located Carson.
Quoted from biologist

After 12 hours of searching from the ground, on rooftops and via the cameras, we still haven't located Carson. This probably means that he flew farther on this first flight and it is taking him time to work his way back to the Hotel. He may never come back to the nest (lots of chicks don't) but most reappear nearby within 24-48 hours. The adults kept taking off and coming back empty-handed today, so we suspect they were checking on him wherever he is/was. Fyfe on the other hand, hasn't moved since he was found about a 1/2 after fledging. He's safe, the adults know where he is and he's not far from the Hotel. And he has a clear safe route off his current building and shouldn't have problems working his way back to the nest site if that's where he wants to go.

Beatrix practicing, her brother leaves before she can knock him off the ledge

Thanks for the video and update, Carolyn...I do hope Carson is spotted tomorrow...

If I didn't know better, I would think Miss B. was trying to knock her brother off the ledge.. :smile:

Thanks for posting the update and video, Carolyn. I think Carson will turn up. We once had a juvie go missing for nearly a week but he eventually turned up. :sunsmile:

"Fyfe died this morning folks - he collided with a building and died on impact. He died instantly."

OH NO.....That is just such very sad news... :cryinggirl:

I went to the Manitoba forum early this morning (before I left for the day) in hopes of reading word of Carson...at this point, they were also looking for Fyfe, as he was not where they had last seen him last night...So very tragic...and just so heartbreaking as you look at the pictures of him playing in the the rain... :cryinggirl:
