Yeah really when will they be able to take off?

Based on the previous year they'll open the cage door in about 3 to 4 weeks.

Banded and Ready to Party!

I retired from the NE Game and Parks Commission. We had a falcon cam on our State Office building on Kestrell Falcon nests as well. Really neat stuff...

What time they turning them out?

This was posted last week:

On Monday morning, the camera will be temporarily turned off while an actuator (the tool used to remotely open the pen) is installed on the pen door. Following the quick installation of this device, we will reconnect the camera and then allow the chicks time to settle before powering the actuator to open the door. Although we cannot guarantee the exact time when this will happen, it will likely occur at some point between 9-10am.

Once the pen door is open, the chicks will be free to leave the pen at their leisure. We will not be able to provide updates on the chicks’ status and whereabouts in real time, however we will provide a post outlining the details of the respective day’s activities on Monday and Tuesday evening, once monitoring efforts have concluded for the day. So, be sure to tune in on Monday to witness our current chick cohort take their first flaps onto their next adventures as the 2022 class of RVA falcon fledglings!

Very cool. May try to swing by on way back from Nags Head next week and see if I can spot them for myself.
