Empty Nest

Minnesota Power Falcon Cam
It’s looking like all three falcon chicks have now fledged! This morning, I happened to tune in to the FalconCam just as one of them was taking off from the nesting platform. (The first picture below.) They’ll still come back to roost at night and to occasionally rest during the day, but they’ll be out and about learning adult falcon skills for the rest of the summer.

Hasn’t this been really neat?

I’ll continue checking in with them from time to time during the summer and if I see anything interesting, I’ll post about it.
