• 6/30/2010 :: Fledgling Update One of the fledges spent several hours resting on the ledge today. With a close camera angle we were able to get a good look at him and he looked fine. The adult male was perched above him on one of the camera housings. Now, they are out together, engaged in flight/hunting lessons. Earlier today, the adult female was spotted doing the same with the other fledge. Blue's condition continues to improve although not at the pace we would like to see. All in all Rachel's falcons are doing fine.
• 6/24/2010 :: Update on Blue
The infections/parasites are gone. He's improving daily. He will not be released here at the Rachel Carson Building-he's not ready. Feather development is still slow and weight is still down. He's not preening, so his flight feathers are slow to come in. Eventually, we would like to release him, but there is no guarantee he'll fully recover. If he does, the release may occur this Fall or Spring of 2011. He will get flying and hunting lessons while in rehabilitation.
