Beautiful pictures everyone ,
now my question is again this yr as all the other yrs
:egg14:

WHY AFTER THEY GET BANDS DO THEY THINK THEY HAVE TO START GETTING ON THE LEDGES?
The must be born with the instinct or something

Ase · **Posted:** Fri Jun 01, 2012 2:43 pm

I don't know, Kittenface. I wonder why also. Maybe it is in their genes, or maybe its because the parents are such a stable couple? (seven years together, and no seven-year-itch to be seen here! :biggrin:

) They were not beginners when they met. The young ones are very, very selfconfident. I'd like to think that it has to be caused by the peace and confidence the elders show them. They know a lot, and they know well. So banding is no issue, nothing to fear, just a minor lesson in growing up. I realy like to think that.
Lets hope they don't overestimate these two.

I do not feel that these two have many rehearsal space, it's in, or out? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ase, there is a ledge which is a little lower than the perch (where they are sitting in my photo above). They can hop down from the perch to this ledge which is 2 or 3 feet wide and runs the entire length of the building, so yes, they do have some rehearsal space to run and flap. :egg 19:

Here is Arles' shot from last year showing Phoenix sitting on the ledge outside the nest box:

I just came out to make sure the doors were locked before going to bed and saw the same image!
You are right, Susan. It won't be long! Are you ready to pound the pavement???? :egg7:

We have talons crossed Jane. They are growing nicely and getting all those beautiful feathers. I think this week we'll see a lot of wing flapping, and then...

All that looking around makes little falcons very sleepy. Oh, one is up and flapping
