For 2 days now no juvie has showed himself in front of the webcam. Today the exciting news is that at least one of them has fledged.
That means that for us the time has come to say goodbye to these 2 beloved peregrine falcons to be. For weeks we where allowed to get a glimps of the beginning of their lives. From egg to eyas to juvi. Every time again it is a miracle of life itself. Beyond comprehension. Two beautiful and perfect juvies are stretching their wings to start their lives as a bird of prey.
We wish them a long and prosper live.
May the Great Spirit protect you and guide your paths...

The tiercel nesting in Dayton has been identified as Daniel, band D/83, born in 2005 at the 4th and Vine Tower in Cincinnati. This bird had previously tried to nest in Springfield last year with female Kachina (99/B-Toledo 2004). Their nesting attempt failed and Kachina was found dead in Dayton this past Feb. following a collision with a building. Daniel's new mate is unbanded and unidentified.
The Dayton Falcons are nesting on the Liberty Bank building in downtown Dayton.

The two young birds received their leg bands on May 22 at 10:00 AM. Miami, D/43 and Kickapoo, D/44, are both males.
