Aug. 25: Got visit by both adults this morning, which lasted a few minutes. Some vocalizations between them that 'sounded' like a reunion chat. Very exciting, and dad even came waddling over to camera for close-up of eyes.
Aug. 29: Mom has been back several times since last parental visit, and has sometimes stayed all morning, preening, settling on nesting area for a bit, and napping in standing position, with occasional chatting noises.
The webcam is still up and running, so if you're lucky, you can still see the birds. :)

Nothing 'special' to report, except that on several occasions, especially last evening, we have had reg. visits by various falcon family members, but mostly, the mom. She has gone back to reclaim her nesting spot on the ledge, and visits quite often, including vocalizations. The juveniles are also still around campus, and are sometimes found to be huddling on window ledges, balcony edges ('Bert' seems to prefer those) and often in close proximity to one another.

We had to rescue our RB male 3 times 2 years ago and he ended up being our best flyer. He was jsut not ready but either got spooked or knocked off and flew before he should .
sometimes they have to be rescued because they fell into something . do they say where she was rescued 3rd time. Red Deer male ended up in a chimney last year, our blue girl ended up in a big fan last year. luckily it was not on.
I remember Rhea Mae ,that is in Toronto ending up in a big shaft , when she fledged.
Glad they are doing well. :-* :-*

Not sure what you mean by this, TPC. :-\ Do you mean she may not leave town or do you mean that she will be most likely to return to the territory, because of all the rescues and if so, why would that be?

Neither :) Just that we had a bird that needed to be rescued alot (for us) and that was the bird that survived hatch year (and a few more) - never have heard anything about his less crash-prone siblings. Don't look so far ahead. Surviving hatch year is the biggest hurdle, get them through that, then wonder if they will turn up somewhere to try to nest ...
