In the end, Lindsay and Grinnell Jr fledged on the same day! He immediately flew back to the tower. It was a great fledge.
I hope they return to the Campanile for some time to get prey from Annie and Alden but if they don’t wishing them safe flying, lots of prey, and a good territory to raise some more grandchicks for Annie, Alden, and Grinnell.
Congratulations to absolutely everyone at Cal Falcons but a super thank you to Sean and Lynn for providing us with those incredible Q & A sessions on YouTube — and all the videos.
I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.

How wonderful! I’m so glad they both fledged and wishing them much safe and happy lives! They are beautiful just like their parents! Thanks Mary Ann for this update on Lindsay and Grinell Jr
Hope we get to see them some more too!

You are very welcome. Linda, thank you for all your lovely comments today. They are always appreciated. It has been a good day for so many of the birds. We needed one like this. Little Bit is quite amazing. He is quick and will do well out in the world. Ah, your birds are planting flowers for you, too. Isn’t it lovely. The Blue Jays apparently populated the countries with the oak trees! Have a lovely Sunday tomorrow.
