Laura James-Reim reports from down town Indianapolis:
Another great day for the Indy fantastic four falcons. They are just doing great everyone. They are hanging out where they have been the last couple of days, but there were some forays to buildings further south. They are spreading their wings so to speak.
Much chasing of each other and the adults, great landings and even food transfers by the adults were witnessed today by an enthusiastic group of falconheads. Sometimes it is hard to tell if you are watching an adult or a juvenile flying in the air - they are getting so good at it. Just a couple of days ago you could still see some hesitation and more flapping from the juvies but they are catching on to the winds and building ledges of downtown Indianapolis.
It is such a joy to share these sights with folks who have the fortitude to get up early in the morning - there are no guarantees that we will see anything. But the kids didn't disappoint. We positively had the bead on Val and Magee as they sat on nearby rooftops - sitting with their chests proudly thrust out in all their juvenile glory. All six were sighted at various points in the morning.
