August 7
Our young male came to ledge again just after noon and stayed for awhile

Our young female fledged this morning, early. Will post details later but adult female was cleaning prey on CS roof adjacent to nest box. Youngster tried to fly to it, had great flight high and around CS twice and then out of View( per Janice)
Peter was called and he went down.
I could hear her faintly so knew she had to be west of box.
Peter found her across from nest ledge on an. Not where we usually find them.
But she is good where she is, has been fed, and now fingers crossed.
Peter is home now , so I am hopeful
She is 45 days old today

Youngster in again this afternoon. So glad , to always see him.

Youngster continues to come to ledge every day.

Youngster had to be rescued around 8 pm Saturday evening .
We knew she had some sort of wing injury, . Janice caught it with her video on Saturday morning.
We think she glanced off Maz on Friday morning.
She was not going far.
By Saturday afternoon, she had lost height on same area,.
She was not fed that anyone there saw since Friday around noon.
I will write more with some photos later, but Peter was called by Janice as she had flapped and fallen quite a ways down and was over entrance to Maz.
Peter had to climb through a window to get her, and she spent night at our place , after being examined by Patti.( years ago we had to do a rescue there but Peter was much younger) Wild North was closed. Dr . Court was aware of everything and came to pick up our guest Sunday morning. Janice was here also.
I will do more explanation with photos hopefully tonight. But I will tell you,, she is very feisty but has some sort of wing injury, either at elbow or shoulder. But she looks so good. Lots of fluff
More to come

She hissed at me Nancy She is one feisty gal. We have played host to so many falcons since 2008. Room and Boardlol.
But we are very privileged in to be trusted to do this. We do love them, but are gearing down .

I am finally catching up

this will be long but I owe this to the ones that have followed our young female on the chat. and to those who followed here . I have not kept up as I should but was busy at other Edmonton area nests also

august 9
chatters called her Yella( she yelled a lot LOL)

Yella fledged at 6:13am august 9. adult female was prepping prey on corner of CS ( where youngster could see her) Youngster was out on rung flapping hard and off she went.. she could not stick landing where mom was and went around top of CS clockwise, around the back of CS and came out North side and behind the Maz( red building ) She did not come out the other side and so ground crew had to go below and try and locate her.I I could hear her faintly on cam so knew she had to be close by, north of box. My hubby went down and while Janice was looking behind Maz, my hubby( Peter) located her on the north wall of Maz
pictures
just below 1[/b] is nest box. Mom was at number [b]2


she flew from number 2 clockwise around CS ( labelled and around the back and came out where arrow is. She flew behind that glass part ( hard to show )



the next picture is an overview of site. the square is where box is and the X is where she ended up after flying clockwise all around CS and flew to right of X and a bit above . She ended up where X is. We think she may have grazed off the maz and come down where the X is



continued

here is where fledgling ended up


the red part had 2 different levels, and she was on top part


I don't want to confuse you so will proceed

fledgling moved down a level( she was fed and then she slept for a great part o f day.


august 10

Janice ( from a video) noticed that our fledgling was favoring her left wing( janice's video)
https://youtu.be/awvRyoO_hrM?si=dNx121bt5KmAquh8

From here the fledgling moved along east on lower red and then went down to just above the glass( janices photo)


NOte: Yella can move horizontally and vertically but cannot seem to get the upward movement)

fledgling
( janices photo )
she then cat walked west and slept in corner of glass and the lower red roof ( janices photos)


We knew she was going to come down, it was just a matter of when.
Just after 8pm august 10 , Janice got a call from one of ground watchers and she then phoned Peter . Yella had come down and was just over the entrance to the Maz. She had been flapping from last location I showed you ( with her sleeping ) and slipped, fell ) with that wing she could go vertical and horizontal but not out and up

here is picture that shows all of her positions since she fledged to where she was rescued from





(1- Clinical Science ( nest building) 2- where she was first spotted; 3- she went down one level ; 4 - one more level down and to the right ; X was where she was sleeping last and then starting flapping; 5 - where she slipped to from flapping ) this is where she was rescued from


this picture is basically the same but the 2 black x's show where she was and where she ended up at the end. the tricky thing was she was perched on the lip of the ledge of the entrance


continued

rescue

A lady walking across pedway, sent picture of fledgling wandering around on top of entrance ( before she went and perched on lip of ledge) she sent ot Janice


Peter had to get maintenance to open a window and he had to crawl out and retrieve her.( Janice and another fledge watcher were on the ground below the ledge with their blankets up , in case she came off ledge) He had to walk carefully toward her and gently coax her away from ledge and against wall , and then retrieve her and put her in our carrier. ( Peter has rescued from this spot before several years ago) . over the last few years , Janice and Peter rescue as a team.

Then we had our wonderful lady , who comes to the site and examines the young ones, examine her ( if they are o.k. we can put them back up) but her wing was definitely sore)
janices picutres


so our young miss spent the night at our house as Wild North was no t open ( we have been very privileged over the years to host many young ones. have even had to feed on occasion)
Dr Court ( our species at risk biologist) came and picked her up in the morning , examined her and then took her and so she is in good hands. she has some wing problem it appears, or shoulder. A few days will tell better.
Dr court does no t usaully have to wear a glove to handle the young ones but our Yella , was very feisty and so he had to eventually put a hood on her to examine her properly. Attitude , that one LOll

hope that explained things without confusing you .
when we know more I will post here or if chat still up , will post there.
Janice and her ground crew did a great job of keeping watch. thank you Janice

Thanks from me, too, for the pictures and explanations. I hope she will be ok.
