Ha! At this moment I'm listening to an NPR Living on Earth report about the popularity of peregrine falcon watching since they've been making such a big comeback in some US cities. This attorney in San Jose was just saying that she's given up a week of her vacation time to help make sure that the young she's watching in San Jose fledge safely. That's what I've told my boss I'll be doing later in June. Last year I rescued one fledgling three times before she finally flew without landing in the parking lot, alley or street. I ended up calling in to work at the last minute so often that this year I decided to just plan vacation time for fledge week.
