This morning, Ghent was again a little reluctant to show himself. After some searching he was located on the Burlington Hydro Tower. Cirrus and Mackenzie were watching from the Hamilton Hydro Tower. So far he is doing amazing. Fingers crossed that he continues to thrive. It sure would be nice to hear of him nesting in a territory of his own some day.
When our friends from Rochester, at http://rfalconcam.com/rfc-main/ (Carol, Kathy and Dana) came to assist with our watch last Saturday. Dana took these fabulous photos of the Lift Bridge Falcon family. There are some great shots of Ghent stuck on the hole on the bridge and his escapades on the construction scaffolding.
You never know what you are going to see at the Lift Bridge during a Falcon Watch. On June 5th as we watched for Ghent to fledge, we noticed a CAF Hercules Plane approaching from across the bay. We didn't think that it would clear the Skyway or the Burlington Hydro Tower, but it did thank goodness. You can't imagine what it is like to see this huge plane in flight just barely above the Hydro Tower.

Within a few minutes of the Hercules flyby, we were entertained by this Helicopter.

A very close look at these machines indeed.
