At what age do eyasses of prairie falcons typically fledge?

Eyasses of prairie falcons typically fledge around 5 to 6 weeks of age. Fledging is the process by which young birds develop wing feathers that enable them to fly. At this age, they have gained enough strength and coordination to leave the nest and take their first flights.

During this period, the young falcons have been actively developing their flight muscles and learning critical survival skills, such as how to navigate their surroundings. Precise timing can vary based on environmental factors and the health of the chick, but flecking between 5 and 6 weeks is generally consistent with the developmental milestones observed in prairie falcon eyasses.

The other age ranges, such as 3 to 4 weeks, 6 to 7 weeks, and 8 to 10 weeks, fall outside the typical period for fledging for this species, indicating either premature or delayed fledging beyond the norm for prairie falcons.
