Jun 13, 2009 - Saturday - long time no see!

Finally checked in with the falcons late this afternoon. The young are looking good, pecking at pieces of food, flapping wings a bit and there's lots of preening going on as they get rid of their white fluff.

Ms. Marla is looking big and mostly brown, Master Byron still has a fair bit of white fluff, the youngest Master Casper is still fairly white. One of the young decided to step up onto the edge of the ledge, perhaps eager for Mom to arrive with food. At the time all 3 seemed to know she was preparing an afternoon meal.

A report was received this evening. Shortly before 7PM, another adult falcon was witnessed near the nest ledge. He/she made some fly-bys, eventually landing on the ledge directly above the nest ledge where our resident female was. He/she departed soonafter. So, at the moment it seems there's an adult interested in the site, not sure if it's a male befriending Mom or a female again testing Mom's dominance, time will tell.
