Great Spirit Bluff Falcon Cam ~ Carson Falls From Nest Box Perch!!! 6.11.19

This afternoon, Caron was out exploring the perch and ledge. Newman flies in and lands on the ledge perch and he moves closer to Carson briefly before leaving. Carson is looking out over his shoulder when he loses his balance and slips off the perch and drops 200 feet to some bushes below the nest. Carson has been spotted in the foliage below the nest and heard. Both Newman and Michelle are watching out for him as they did for Hamilton and Burr-D when they both fell out of the nest box in 2017. It took them over a week to be able to fly and return back up the nest so hopefully Carson will be able to do the same (You can check my playlist for GSB 2017 to see all the video on that season!) Thank you for watching!

Update: Carson does survive the fall and both Michelle and Newman took care of him for 16 days on the ground or on a low shrub tree. Carson will fly back up the cliffs and return fully feathered and looking great! He is now flying around and has learned to take prey from the parents in mid air!! Stay safe Carson and Godspeed!

great movie congratulations and best regards

[@goshtic9565]

I hope that nest box got upgraded to prevent these future issues. Leaving a tiny gap like that where the baby got her leg stuck is an oversight that should've been addressed early on when setting up that nest box.

[@dinok9647]

Good news that Carson is below the nest and the parents know where he is probably. They are well trained on raising early fledglings so hopefully Carson will do well with their guidance.

[@msbadkittie]

poor little thing :( glad to hear he’s been spotted and seems okay. looks like they’re bothered by flies/gnats, just like the Decorah eagles. you can see Mama shaking her head over and over. the little one shook his head a few times before he fell. maybe that caused him to lose balance?

[@terrysimmons3808]

Poor design of the nest box ! Needs to mimic a rock ledge more. Needs a larger area out front for fledglings.

[@zacharycat]

Didn't a large owl kill one of the other young falcons? When that happens the survivor sometimes responds by getting out before it returns.

[@ladyhawk]

Yes a GHO came to the nest box and killed Kira the female. Michelle came flying in and took on the GHO in a very heroic way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpWzYnl7f9RmY80

[@StarAnyse]

I'm just a silly human but I find this extremely frustrating. I feel as though I've seen a lot of these "falls" this year. Any idea what a typical ratio of premature "falls" is?

[@SW13333]

SharAnese - I'm still new to Eagles and now this - very new - several eagle nests have had eaglet falls this year. I wonder if it's normal?. - Stephanie

[@tanyaryland3422]

StarAnyse yup I said the same thing I don’t care for this set up at all every year it seems like the babies always fall out of get attacked it’s so sad 😞

[@DoubleDogDare54]

That's how they do it. Watch owl nests. The owlets almost always cannon ball down to ground level, then hike up into the trees where the parent birds will find them at feeding time. Eagles, osprey, hawks and others do the same thing. The baby birds are fine. The adults take care of them. So the falls aren't "premature" - they happen whenever the kids venture out of the nest. Unlike "millennials", young Peregrines don't return home to live in their mom's basement - they actually grow up and leave to live adult lives.

[@youmehercomp9145]

is he ok?

[@carlaoliveira5264]

Does it look like Michelle was trying to brood Kira? I’m surprised she didn’t pull him in like she has before.

[@JeanBrewer]

Yesterday she got a mouth full of fluff trying that very thing. She is actually trying to pick off all the black flies from Kira's body.

Yes MIchelle is brooding and picking the black flies off of KIra - bless her heart. She also attempted to feed Kira :(

Scroll down to Kiara Zocco's Bonnie Girl comment where Lady Hawk responds saying Carson was tended to for 16 days on the ground and 'was flying around'. {Might be advantageous if this update was placed in the initial explanation box}

[@ladyhawk]

Hello Terri thank you for the suggestion I pinned the update to the top of the comments suggestion!

[@austin1839]

I've always thought that these nest boxes were poorly designed.

[@DoubleDogDare54]

In the natural world falcons prefer to nest on open rock ledges situated on high cliffs. All they do for a "nest" is make a shallow scrape in the dirt and gravel on the ledge and that's their nursery, completely exposed to the elements and no high barricade around the nest area to pen in the chicks. So this nest box at Spirit Bluff is actually quite safe and luxurious by Peregrine standards.

[@jimdawson7296]

They nest in all sorts of ledge sites, most have insects too. Not all babies survive. This is natural selection at work. Hard to watch but the work of Mother Nature.

[@austin1839]

@@DoubleDogDare54 I understand that. And if people wouldn't have done anything about the declining Peregrine population they'd probably be extinct in America by now. If you're gonna do something with such a purpose then it should be done right.

[@kmsbanr]

@gabriel gervais worked to bring back back condors and eagles.

[@bloodydove5718]

​@@austin1839 Doing that could have an adverse effect though. Humans function very differently from most animals; with our intelligence we greatly alter our environments to suit our needs, the vast majority of animals dont do that. Making nesting areas that are radically different from those they're use to could result in... A. them avoiding those nesting areas and thus do next to nothing to prevent animals we're trying to conserve from going extinct. B. Confusing animals that are raising their young and the young that are being raised. Huge aspects of various bird's nesting habits are heavily influenced by their evolution both physiologically and psychologically, and trying to force a change for the immediate idea of helping them can inadvertently harm them. Its better for them, to just give a little nudge to help out, instead of changing their circumstances to what we Think is best for them.

Badly designed for falcons. Way too slippery material, that branch should not be there and to many places for young falcons to get to outside the actual nest area. Surely by now this has been realized that something is wrong compared to other artificial nest sites??

Poor thing! He's too young to fledge. Can anyone get him and put him back in the nest box?

[@ladyhawk]

While Carson may be young, the falcons grow up quickly. Michelle and Newman know where Carson is and will take care of him. If he was put back in the nest box, he would likely fall out again. Two years ago, both chicks (Hamilton and Burr-D) fell out and were raised on the ground for 15 days until they were old enough to fledge! Hopefully this will be the same with Carson!

[@JeanBrewer]

@@ladyhawk Yes! What a year that was! I still remember early in the morning listening for them to be sure they were ok. I feel confident they will care for him. Once he settles in and gets really hungry, he will be screaming loudly.
