Parents kakking - Mac still

Decorah news -
the 3rd eaglet jumped
RRP called out on a fledgling rescue
no further news

Raptor Resource Project
31 minutes ago (June 21 pm)
Bob found one of the eaglets! The Decorah police called to let him know an eaglet was in the middle of Trout Stream road. He dashed down there and found people directing traffic around the eaglet. When he tried to get it out of the road, it scrambled into the woods, leading him on quite a chase before he caught it.

Bob is concerned that the eaglet never tried to fly. He is going to feed it and hold it overnight for observation. We'll upload a photo when we get one, but we wanted to let everyone know right away. We don't yet know which eaglet he has.

The cam operator is GSBDweller aka John Howe and his wife.
I see Mac is using his wings for balance. He's safe if not comfy.
He scratches some - and loses his balance.
Its NOT an easy area to access! I seriously doubt anyone will go look.
The parents are flying in and out to him.
I will try to catch his morning feeding - since the parents screaming begins about 5 am.
I watched a lot yesterday afternoon but saw no feeding - but I was trying to follow Decorah.

No Bev--I didn't see anything that indicates how high that is. I'm guessing that since that appears to be a young tree that he's in, he isn't really high off the ground. Now that he's been found (by humans--we know his parents knew where he was right away), I imagine there will be more discussion about that. :clap:

Here is a picture of the tree that Mac is in. It looks quite small, but because of something along the bottom of the picture, I'm not totally sure. This is a photo that Raptor Resource posted on Facebook.

Its pouring rain there - which wont help the river flooding!

Mississippi River Flooding to Impact Communities, Port Operations
June 27, 2014 - 7:18 AM
High water will continue to impact communities and barge operations along the upper Mississippi River into early July as more rain moves into the area.
Low-lying areas not protected by levees, such as farmland, homes, businesses and some roadways, are being inundated as river levels surpass flood stage.
Excessive rainfall, in some cases near a foot over the past month, has pushed the upper Mississippi River past flood stage from Minnesota and Wisconsin to Iowa, Illinois and northern Missouri.

At Minneapolis, rainfall to date (nearly 11 inches) for June was close to 90 percent of its average rainfall for the summer season June 1 to August 31. Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton declared a State of Emergency for 35 of the state's 87 counties last week

KAK KAK KAK KAK KAK !!! And he is sure yelling for his lunch just now! I saw both parents flying around, then one went down with Mac, hopefully to feed him....

I think the parents have been coaxing Mac to fledge and have been baiting him with food. I thought it sounded like Mac was getting closer to the cam mic but I'm not sure. I missed the panning this afternoon and all I saw was a parent on the perch of the nest box earlier. I wish they had left the cam on the area below and that dead tree he was seen in. I believe we will see him before the weekend is over. :egg19:

Little Mac Budda fledged!

These are my notes
June 29 Sunday at 9.25 am I heard falcon calling, went full screen,
saw it land on top of cliff - another falcon came -
too far to see if they fought, mated, or if thats Mac and parent brot food. LOLOL :egg11:

OK - its eating atop cliff

I wish someone was on cam to zoom. I think this is the first spot 2013 fledges were found

9.55 am Just saw parent dive off - and Mac screamed!

A beautiful June day - the Howes may all be picnicing on top of the bluff -
watching and hearing it all - LIVE - and probably without a camera!

Mac fledges video is posted - glorious blue sky SONday morning!
01:17:48 I hear him - coming up
01:18:01 Mac lands atop cliff - appeared to come from out to my right
I heard at least 1 parent too

just wonderful to see Mac get on cliff and then a parent bring hi8m food shortly after. what a blessing

this just shows how important it is that the peregrines nest in these spots. they can get their way up eventually but in our urban jungles, the traffic and windows get in the way.

no matter some o f the hardships, this is a great spot

the road shown in cam is not a problem as the roads where are falcons are in middle o f cities. lots of space between box and that road
