Madrone Peregrines - 1 week from fledging

I really had to start a new thread....

 

I got word from the Natural Resources Gal ( Tonia) at Clackamas County that the monitoring by folks from the Audobon Society say the chicks look to be about 5 weeks old. They expect that they will be fledging in the next week or so. Monitoring will continue after fledging to see if or how "disturbed" the chicks and parents are with people around them.

 

I'm crossing my fingers, and so is Tonia, that the June 27th clean up and trail building event will still take place. We're not sure yet about the climbing afterwards, but we're hoping we can. Even Tonia is hoping for us!

 

I think cancelling the last event on May 23rd was important enough ( unfortunately) because of not knowing age of the chicks. They probably didn't have their wings, nor concept of flight, and could have fallen off the ledge if spooked.

 

Some good news in all of this, I guess.
