Annabelle and Orville
Glory and Nadya
June 21 - At 7:30 am today, all 4 chicks were in the nest box, but by 10:00 am two of the chicks had fledged. Annabelle and Orville were the two chicks to leave the nest box, and one of them later returned.
This photo, taken shortly after 10:00 a.m., shows Glory and Nadya still in the box, perhaps watching their brother and sister trying out their wings.

Orton, the male of Mayo Clinic?s nesting peregrine falcons, will be back in the air later this summer after he was found injured in downtown Rochester on Wednesday. Someone spotted the raptor under a car and contacted wildlife rehabilitator Foxfeather Zenkova. Orton appeared to struggle trying to fly.
Orton and his mate, Hattie, live atop a Mayo Clinic building in a nest box. The pair had four chicks this year ? three females and a male. The four were banded June 3. The mother will have to provide for all four chicks on her own while Orton recovers from his injuries.
Orton was diagnosed with a broken keel ? the breast bone. His flight muscles are attached to the bone, which is why he was having difficulty flying. ?He obviously collided with something.?
The bone should heal in about a month, and after that, rehabilitators will help him rebuild his flight muscles, she added. ?We have every reason to believe he?s going to make a full recovery,? Arent said.
Arent advises people who find a raptor they believe is injured to contact a wildlife rehabilitator before moving it. The bird could be a fledgling that is not hurt, but instead is unable to competently fly.
