Not out of the woods yet… – Tuesday Evening

…haven’t found their girl yet. (She’s a she.)

…and resume their roles of parents and child.

Astoria Park

The Astoria Park eyasses are 45 days old, so they should be fledging soon. These pictures were taken on Monday.

For the parents too. They soon moved off to roosts for the night.

Everyone was accounted for on Sunday, but it took some real effort to find everyone. The father was on a low branch behind the church playground along Morningside Drive. Above him was one of the fledglings.

The father then caught and gutted a rodent. He went off with it, but I’m not sure who he gave it to.

He didn’t give it to the one fledgling we had found however.

We then found the outgoing fledgling on the north side of the Cathedral.

As I was leaving to go home, a passer-by helped me find the third fledgling at the base of Morningside Drive above a construction trailer.

Sunday with the Falcons

I spent more time up at Riverside Church on Sunday. The fledglings spent lots of time flying between the God Box (Interfaith Center) and the Church. The ones I could photograph were mostly the parents.

St. John Fledglings All Accounted For

On Friday, about an hour after I had left, Robert found the third fledgling. On Saturday, I was able to see all three too.

There was one precocious fledgling, and then two who fledged later. This is one of the two reluctant ones.

This is the other reluctant one. Both seemed much shyer than the outgoing first fledgling.

Riverside Church Peregrine Falcon Fledglings

Riverside Church Peregrine Falcons have three or four fledglings. Its hard to figure out the exact number. Here are some pictures from Friday of the fledglings and their parents.
