6/3/2009 :: Update on the Eyases
The five young eyases have physically grown and developed considerably since the banding event on May 27th. Soon, they will make their first flight attempt, known as fledging. Beginning on Monday, June 8th, watch and rescue staff will track the activities of the eyases as they take to the air, one at a time until all have fledged. Although the larger eyases have had the advantage at feeding times, the smaller, more agile ones may have the advantage in flight. The little male (white band) has been running up and down the ledge all week. He’s just waiting for his feathers to develop a little more before he makes his first attempt. At the other end of the spectrum, we see the largest female (green band) - she may not be as agile as the smaller birds and the watch and rescue team will watch her closely and respond if she ends up on the street or on one of the nearby parking garages. In any event, fledging is probably the most critical step in the life cycle of peregrines and success can help to ensure the long-term survival of these endangered raptors.
5/28/2009 :: Banding Results
At the May 27th banding event, the PGC banded four female nestlings, one male. All five of the eyases were treated for mites; all are doing well. The watch and rescue program will begin on Monday, June 8th and run through the weekend or until all of the eyases have fledged and returned to the ledge.
Inanellati il 27 maggio, 4 femmine e un maschio, trattati per gli acari, presto faranno il primo tentativo di volo e cominciando da lunedì 8 giugno, la vigilanza ed il personale di salvataggio seguiranno le attività dei falchetti.
La prima dei pulli ha preso il volo ieri alle 0645 ora locale: è la femmina con l'anello giallo :D :D . Purtroppo, è arrivata in una strada nella vicinanza da dove è stata salvata e portata in un centro di ricupero . Comunque, un appunto dice che sta bene e potrebbe rilasciata presto (la sera stessa o stamattina).

6/10/2009 :: Fledgling Update
The green banded female and the white banded male have fledged. Watch and rescue members are watching both of them as they take successive flights attempting to eventually return to the nest ledge. The yellow banded female has been held for further observation to ensure that she is 100 percent recovered before placing her on the roof of the Rachel Carson Building to take flight again. Taking off from the roof, above the nest ledge, provides a better chance for the fledglings to safely return to the nest ledge
anche la femmina anello verde e il maschio anello bianco si sono involati e i membri di salvataggio e vigilanza stanno osservando i loro voli
la femmina che ha preso il volo ieri è ancora in osservazione prima di rimetterla sul tetto

Purtroppo l'attenta vigilanza del team non ha potuto salvare il piccolo con l'anello bianco. Ma è stato ritrovato e sarà ormai volato via senza soffrire.

The green-banded female was rescued from the street last evening and released on the roof of the Rachel Carson Building- she returned to the ledge this morning. The yellow and red-banded females continue to take short flights back and forth from lower rooftops. The white-banded male has not been as fortunate. He was discovered injured along a nearby rail line this morning. Both of his legs were severely injured. He was transported to Dauphin County Wildlife Rescue Center where he will be euthanized.

Aggiornamento:
Un augurio di buon volo alle quattro piccole
Le quattro piccole sopravissute continuano a fare progressi. Sono state avvistate mentre volano dalla zona del nido ai davanzali dove preferiscono ricevere il cibo. Piace molto a tutte e quattro la nuovo Università di Scienze e Tecnologie del Harrisburg perché ci sono tanti davanzali ampi a varie altezze di accesso facile ai rapaci - e che offrono viste spettacolari per i frequentatori dell'università. Da giugno ci sarà meno movimento al nido ma molto di più per gli avvistatori di falchi nella strada. Le piccole ricevono lezioni sia di caccia che di volo da entrambi i genitori e fra poco si sposteranno sul corridoio del fiume Susquehanna. Inoltre ad essere vie di acque verso il mare, questi corridoi sono percorsi battuti dagli uccelli migratori e saranno sempre zone ottime di nutrizione e di nidificazione per il falco pellegrino.The four surviving fledglings are doing well. They have been seen taking flight from the nest ledge to their seemingly favorite food drop perches. The new Harrisburg University for Science and Technology has been a favorite haunt for the fledges. The building has many wide ledges at different levels providing easy access for the birds and great viewing for University staffers. As we move through June and into July there will be less happening at the nest ledge. For the falcon watchers on the street the action has just begun. The birds are getting flight and hunting lessons from both of the adults. Soon they will take their show on the road and fly with the fledges up and down the Susquehanna River Corridor. These corridors are not only watercourses to the Sea but also bird migration pathways and will forever signal prime feeding and breeding habitat to the Peregrine Falcon.
