Downtown with a large group this morning. All going well. Think all but Luka have fledged,but they keep returning to market Tower. Will has provided 2meals this morning so I think naps are in order. Jeff has his scope and has taken pictures and videos that I will post later.

I have to leave to take the dog to the volunteer fair at the hospital, but will be back this afternoon.

Do you ever stop going?
I'm going to rename you the energizer bunny

Oh yeah. We will be in force this weekend, but as they get more accomplished it becomes more of a show of their skills rather than rescue operations. It is so fun when they start to play tag, bump their parents off perches, try food transfers etc. All the hard work pays off when we see that stuff!

Glad to hear the fledging has gone well. I hope they will continue to thrive through the summer. Gigi, thanks for all your reports and your watchful eyes!

I am Downtown and happy to report that watch is going well. Not much going on now, but earlier lots of good flying. One Juvie has even learned the fun game of knocking parent off their perch! They have been fed and seem to be tucked in as the day gets warmer. Probably will head for home soon!

We have not seen all four in the air at one time, so I am not sure if Luka has actually flown or not. Tonight we saw all 4 juvies at the same time which made us watchers very happy. Two of them put on quite the aerial show, flying together, chasing one another and dive bombing each other. It makes all the waiting and nail biting so worthwhile when you get to see that kind of confidence when they fly - and land!

with that, I am :offtobed:

NIght all!

Oh what a wonderful report today gigi, thanks so much and like bev said (she needs to practice what she preaches) get some rest, that sun & heat takes its toll fast.

Another excellent day of peregrine watching. Although I could not confirm who I saw when, everyone seemed to be both flying and landing well. Occasionally a little fumble on the landing, but always a quick recovery.

The highlight was right before I left this evening. Intermittently I saw pairs of falcons flying and was unable to completely follow them. Finally I saw Kathy land on 25 Market Tower and proceed to clean and de-feather prey. One juvie was going between 27 and 31 pretty patiently waiting for mom to get done. Well, she did, but she took off with the prey with juvie in hot pursuit. Then lo an behold the juvie had the prey! A food transfer!!! I believe it was Dox because the juvie was so much smaller than Kathy. They both flew to the monument with Kathy alighting on Lady Victory's torch and juvie on a ledge below, enjoying his well deserved meal!

Great report, Gigi. That is so cool to see a food transfer. Hope things continue to go well in Indy.

hope all is still well

going extremely well! Here is a video that Duane and Kathy shot last night while we were atop the Penn Street parking garage. The juvies are on the First Indiana building at Washington Street and Pennsylvania, just 2 blocks away from the nest box.

This is the same building where I photographed KathyQ and Will hanging out last fall! :flirty:
