would hotshot have to fly somewhere else to try to get the height he would need to get back to the ledge?
I would tend to think so, nibs, but then I'm just guessing. :-\

 The parking ramp ledge he is on is probably 5 times longer than the home ledge so he has
 lots of room to flap his wings without leaving. Ever stronger.

 This is a pic from Google Earth, Panaramio.

 (I'm not sure, but in the zoom view that white angled object in the left "eye"
 might be the web cam.)

hot shot is out of sight now
I think that I can still see a wee speck of movement down there, allikat. :)
yup he's there...he was out of sight for a bit.  Flapping away below, then he came back into view!!!

Oh...got all excited for nothing. Little Hotshot is visible again on the lower ledge, must be Trey picking at the leftovers as there are three falcons up there.  Hmmm, hotshot just flew again, but possible only over to the other side of the ledge he's on... he didn't seem to have any height, although I doubt that's visible when lookin from above and by webcam!

Just saw him down there with wings spread out...then I blinked, did he fly off or move onto the ledge down there?

And somebody has just flown back onto Hot Shot's lower ledge -- Hot Shot, or someone else?

Seems like HotShot really would like to sleep in his own bed tonight, lots of flapping going on.  :D

For his first ever flight I think that young falcon should be applauded.

CLAP, CLAP, CLAP -- definitely he deserves applause!

Now, if he could only manage a bit more height, he'd be able to tell his sibs all about his big day . . .
