All is well here so far

Doug Garbutt Reports:

Just wanted to let everyone know that everything is all good here (so far). The 2 eyases are losing lots of their white down, their feathers have quickly appeared & we are expect them fledge soon, perhaps this weekend! Mom & Dad have been supplying plenty of food for them. Olivia & Max have been exercising their wings, preening and getting very brave by venturing out of the safety of the nest box to the ledge outside. They have been stumbling around on it or just laying down looking over the edge down to the to the Welland Canal so very far below. Apparently they have no fear of  heights even at this young age. We have had some very bad weather here the last week (high winds) & I’m sure that we would have lost both these young falcons had it not been for the move from the beam to the box. They are not out of the woods yet but at least they still have a chance.
