All 5 Flying Well
June 18, 2016 - Windsor - Ambassador Bridge
Marilyn Weller Reports:
All the young are flying and getting to ledges and girders quite well. Paul, Denis, Steve and I believe that Pulse spent much of the day on a ledge near the nest. Maybe tomorrow he’ll be ready for more flights. All of the others are getting good practice with chases and even a bit of “tag” with Voltaire.
It is looking like the need for vigilant watching is coming to an end. Of course, it is still possible that a fledgling will need assistance…we really can never predict. But at least now, they are staying off the ground and building skills and confidence with each day.
Thank you to the team for great watching and some very long days and nights! Your dedication and commitment to our Peregrines is amazing and a wonderful gift.
It is always nice to have new folks join in and personally, I have really enjoyed getting know Steve and Denis this year. Also, chatting with some of our photographer friends (thinking of Mel and Tim) has been great, and having them be willing to share some of their beautiful photos has been very generous of them.
They say that it takes a village to raise a child. Clearly from our history, it takes a community of caring, dedicated people to protect these young Peregrines so that they have a chance to go out and make it on their own.
Great work, everyone! The real fun begins now with “flight school.” I’m sure I’ll see you around the bridge.
We will plan a volunteer gathering soon to celebrate another successful year…Maybe pizza at the bridge.
Special thanks to Mel Diotte, Tim Jarrold, Steve Atkins, and Larry Ludwicki for sharing their great photos!
