The three Peregrine Falcon chicks at the Sheraton Hamilton Hotel are close to leaving the nest full time. Middle youngster Jackson "just stepped off the ledge" on Friday and has been going from building to building. Older brother Bold took his first flight on Sunday. Hunter, the youngest and only female, is testing her wings but is till at 'home' - so far. A big bird - 1002 grams on banding day - Hunter will likely take her time.
