Christine si avvicina a volare, in questa foto è sul bordo interno del nido e la mamma Michelle è fuori dal nido. Maggie continua a migliorare. Involo è atteso in qualsiasi momento dopo il 11 giugno.

Christine ha lasciato il nido per la prima volta, non dovrebbe essere pericoloso anche se non ha molti appoggi visto il dirupo ma Christine non è molto vicina all'autostrada ed è lontana da qualsiasi area industriale.

Questo è tutto quello che c'è attualmente sul sito.
Maggie has fledged! Power out this a.m. due to storm. See yesterday's highlights below.

About the show
Fledging Update.
Christine, one of two falcons at Great Spirit Bluff, left the nest for the first time. It was not a graceful exit, but she is 40 days old, spent a lot of time at the edge of the nest box, and is ready to fledge. Falcons commonly make their first flight at 40 days of age and there is plenty of room below the nest box for her to gain her wings.
It is hard not to worry about a bird when it fledges. It is a dangerous time in a bird's life, yet all flighted birds go through it.
We've been asked if we are going to look for her at the bottom of the cliff. We are not - we don't want to go anywhere near the box or the bottom of the cliff right now. Christine is not very near the highway and is far from any industrial area. We will give her a better chance if we don't intervene than if we do.
We'll keep you posted.
Maggie and Christine both hatched on May 3rd. Typical fledging should occur about 40 days later, which would be around June 11-12.
Maggie's leg is gradually improving. She is standing and walking more and seems strong and healthy otherwise. Bob Anderson states the many falcons have been known to do fine in the wild with leg issues. He mentioned a couple in particular, one who has only a single talon on one foot, and one that manages with just one leg. Our Maggie is better off than either of those cases.
On June 2nd, one of our young falcons, Cassie, was either accidentally knocked out of the box, or was predated by another bird. A search of the area below the nest box on Saturday turned up no evidence of Cassie, though it was not possible to access every location. We are still unsure of what happened. If she did fall and survive, it is possible that Michelle and Travis are aware of her location. If so, they would continue to feed her.

All of our Peregrine nests have fledged at this point. The Great Spirit Bluff camera is back, and we verified that one of the young birds is Christine, who fledged by falling out of the nestbox at 40 days of age. Fledgling birds can be seen at the Great Spirit Bluff and Great River Energy cams. They will most likely be on site until late August or early September.
