There was quite the deluge of rain overnight and it lasted into the early morning hours. The falcons delayed their AM activities until conditions improved at around 7:00. Following Max’s landing mishap yesterday; he remained in the same window well at the State Building for about 30 hours. While he was still resting, Ares dropped off food to him at least once and he was visited by Astrid and a sibling. While Max was laid up, his brood mates were making great strides. They engaged in chases, sparring matches and some extremely high flying. At one point, at least two of them flew so high that they were difficult to pick out against the clouds. One of the most consequential events that took place today was a successful food transfer from Ares and Luna. Luna took his prize and ate it on the roof of the ADK Bank building. Other food drops took place during the day. Once Max finally finished convalescing on the State Building, one of the first things he did was to perch on the very top of the church steeple. He was soon joined by Zander and then later by Luna. Excitement reigns in the canyon these days as the young falcons learn the tricks of their trade and tear up the skies over downtown. I urge all to come and see the spectacle in person. It’s the greatest show in town.
