a falcon fledgling
flew into a bright blue sky ...
I have been watching online the peregrine falcon nest atop the Pacific Gas & Electric building in downtown San Francisco. There were four hatchlings. All have recently fledged. The following posting prompted my haiku: "May 15, 2012 - 4:03 pm. Amelia ran into the 29th floor of 201 Mission. She fell and died. We have retrieved her.... "
The other three are doing fine. This message tells a happier story: "We saw the boys playing in the sky this morning! It was brilliant game of talon tag. They are both flying well, testing their jet packs and maneuverability. Wonderful to see." Wed May 16, 2012 9:47 am.
[Added on 2/16/2013: It must be getting close to time to check the nest out for this year's action.]
