Tower Falcons Ready to Fly?
The WoodmenLife Tower Falcons have grown considerably in the short time since Banding Day. They've grown so much that the nest box can't hold them all any more.
One of the falcons has already left the nest and is on the ledge. The other falcons routinely perch on the edge of the nest and will be leaving soon.
Once out of the nest, you will see the falcons flapping their wings. They are strengthening the wings in preparation for their first flight. It won't be long now. In a few short weeks, all four of the falcons will be flying and learning how to pounce on their prey in mid-air.
