What a difference 48 hours can make with a young peregrine! Reports now streaming in from Donna, Karen, Sally and Murray that both of the “girls” have finally spread their wings as they say! Carina, no longer held back by her bruised confidence (and likely bruised keel) after hitting the window last week has taken to the skies. Now, it appears that there is no place for Quest and Kendal to hide for a little time out! The games of “catch me if you can” and “tag your it” has started with the both young fledglings tearing up the skies.
Gaining altitude is no longer a problem as the highest parts of the surrounding buildings have been easily mastered by both of the fledglings, and the local avian inhabitants is now starting to realize that maybe this neighbourhood is not the greatest place to hang around right now, at least not in the air space above the building’s!
So now, the best part of the fledge watch has begun, as over the next twelve weeks, some serious training will be on-going as Quest and Kendal will be teaching the fledglings all of the life skills that they will need to survive on their own.

Just an update on Carina and Luna. Both have been busy girls flying high today finally have settled down across on the pink building next to Harlequin around 4:00 to shortly after 5:00pm both of them preening/cleaning their feathers… must have a hot date tonight.
At one point today I saw one of the juvies on Kendal’s corner above Dad, I don’t think he was happy to give up he’s corner for a screaming juvenile.

There have been some nice flights today. Carina seems to copy Luna now in chasing Kendall off his favourite corner perch. At one point noisy chattering alerted me to Carina chasing Kendall out of the nest box (I thought it was Quest at first but then watched Carina fly to Kendall’s corner again – spotted her yellow band. After staying put for a while on the roof of 240, there was some chasing going on between the siblings, and (I think) Quest. They seem to have favoured the 240 building today but some back and forth to the pink glass building. I did lose sight of everyone but Kendall after 4:30, so nice to hear whey they are at the moment.

I stopped by Harlequin for half an hour.
Both Carina & Luna were on top of 240.
Luna decided to chase a gull that flew by. The gull was not impressed! Lol
Both Kendal & Quest were on top of the Harlequin Building.
Stay tuned………………
