[Birdtalk] 6/30 JSMB Peregrines update

[Steve Sommerfeld]

Our two young Peregrines had a good day  today.   "Early" (the little male
Peregrine)  spent his day  testing out his wings.  He took seven or eight
good flights.  A few of the landings were awkward, but he's getting better.
All flights stayed reasonably close to JSMB.  Parents were near and brought
prey to him at least twice.
As for our second baby, she did much wing flapping and lots of observing.
(my guess is it's a she)  She hasn't left the nest box yet.
Both young ones were very vocal whenever an adult came near.
Neither of them needed our assistance today.
Again the parents gave us a  wonderful aerobatic show this evening.
It's a beautiful place to enjoy beautiful birds.  Well worth coming to see.
Bob Walters from DWR is there from sun up to sun down along with many
volunteers.  Just look for the crazy people with binoculars, radios, and
towels.  The nest box is on the east face close to the north end of the
Joseph Smith Memorial Building.
