Routine is improving
Posted on 23-11-2010

Today our wayward Miss has been availing herself of the surrounding trees, and on and in the ‘Concrete Hilton’ itself, finally being a normal 49 day old peregrine fledgling. Mid-morning we watched her in the eyrie feeding on lunch which Beau brought up to her and then she spent a short time way up on top (best view in all of Orange, so they say; we’re not climbing up to find out though!). Lunchtime has seen her happy to perch on the dis-used microwave dish where she has a commanding view over the trees below and line-of-sight to the north-west where Beau seems to spend most of his hunting time.

‘Could be wrong but she appears to be a lot less vocal than previous siblings. Last year, with all three chicks hanging around the trees there was a wild cacophony every time food arrived (or in the hope of food arriving). Solo seems quite happy to just wait and see what comes in. This will undoubtedly be keeping the nearby campus staff happier and more productive!

...had to make a close-up :wink: of "our wayward Miss".

Thanks Mick for posting the update. She sure is a beauty. You know, I can't remember if I've ever watched a nest where there was only one chick and that had sound too. Maybe there is no reason to be so vocal when there is no competition and I guess food is more plentiful when you don't have to share, therefore no reason to beg so much.

I think you're right ljames.
She IS beautiful. She seems less brown than N American fledglings.

It is so nice to see the photos of where Solo is perching and to know she made it back "home." Thanks, everyone.

Getting Used to Home Again 11/25/10

Solo has spent a fair bit of today up on the ledge which she should remember so well. The odd flight down into the trees but not much further afield and time for a snooze again, on a wonderfully sunny and warm Orange spring/summer’s day. As our wonderful commenters have said, it’s great that she’s happy to spend time with our cameras.

Thanks for that update, catwoman...I am just so impressed that she can fly well enough to land in that "hole in the wall"...

Yeah she is flying really well. I was very surprised to see her on top of that building the other day eating. Maybe that's where she was the first days, out practicing her flying. :lol:

I have been thinking what a perfect mixture of intelligence and instinct; to know when it's appropriate to be out in the open and to know when to be illusive.

An eye on the details (of the eyrie)
Posted on 25-11-2010

‘Was wondering today whether anyone would be interested in some of the more technical aspects of this season’s replacement box. Too late – ‘telling you! We decided we’d learnt so much from the first 18 months in the project, in terms of what we needed to improve, what the birds needed to be more comfortable, that we were ready to step up to the next level.

Long interesting article. Here's a link to it

Very interesting to know what goes on behind the scene.
Thanks Mick
