Wonderful closeup of little Sis snuggling up to the ledge wall in that wee bit of shade (a couple of minutes ago).

Great commentary from everyone about the happenings on the ledge and information about falcon behavior. So nice to see photos / screen shots of recent events.

TPC, Dennis, bccs - do you sleep! Thank you all so much.

Reassuring to see Trey keeping watch over Little Charmer -- and thanks, TPC, for the information about the parents' behaviour with past fledglings. We all know the grim statistics, so it's especially good to know that these first flights are being closely monitored by the parents.

For those of you wondering how we know that the "Little Charmer" is on the Paris Building, check out Dennis' photos and you can see the chick on the vent ... Dennis and Bccs watched him drop to the roof and there has been no movement caught either by the fledge watchers or the camera since then.  And it is common practice of the adults to go sit near one of the fledged chicks on fledging day ... or at least it is common with these two ... I've seen this same activity with all their fledges in the first few days ...

Since the wind is calm, if/when the chick comes back into view on the Paris Building, that there is a pretty decent chance that he will try to fly back to either the nestledge or the Parkade roof if his brother is still there ... the chicks tend to hang around together after fledging, some more than others, and there seems to be no gender bias ...

"Sis" is definitely unimpressed with the thought of leaving the ledge ...

Just the way we like it!

For those of you not sure where she is, she is in the shade in the south corner and she has barely done any wingercising this morning so I'm doubtful she will be fledging today ... no unusual, females tend to fledge a few days after their male siblings ..

Trey (it looks like) in same corner as yesterday morning after "Hot Shot" fledged and ther has been no sign of "Little Charmer" taking wing from the roof - in fact just saw what I think was natal down blowing on the wind from behind Trey on the Paris Building. 

All's well ...

Food runs look to be beginning ... Bccs just reported this is a new meal for "Hot Shot" ... "Sis" is still sleeping in the south corner ... "LC" is still below the edge on the Paris Building roof ...
