A huge thank you to Jacquie from Buffalo USA and our great friends from the south who have been doing their best keeping a close eye on the young hatchlings at the Niagara falls nest site.

Hi Mark,
Sorry we got cut off earlier! I wasn’t able to get you back to you after being cut off, cell service can be very frustrating at the best of times!!. I just wanted to send you a quick note and update in case you get a chance to check your email tonight. Here are some photos of the little guy that fell today after slipping off the window ledge while on one of his maiden flights trying to get back to the nest ledge.
Four of the young hatchlings can officially now be called fledglings, as all of the young have taken their first flights and left the nest ledge. While three of the four appear to have successfully made it to the upper roof top of the old power house, one has not been so lucky and has lost altitude and now much lower, dangerously close to the water down at the base in front of the power house very visible from our side.
I have attached some of todays photos that can give you an idea of where he is currently located.
Good luck!
Jacquie
