Testing Their Wings

Well, time flies and soon so will these young female falcons! They’re now exploring the entire roof of the Union County Courthouse. As you may notice if you tune in and don’t see them on the main camera. Now they are more frequently observed on the Rooftop View camera, which is on the opposite side of the building.

These young are now starting to “branch out” which is a term meant more for raptors who nest in trees, but it is where they start to explore more of their direct surrounding while strengthening their wing/flight muscles by flapping. They will do this more as their flight feathers come in more fully. When they reach 7 weeks old then they will start to fledge.
