Question for TPC - I can't remember this. If a chick fledges and lands on a ledge or something lower down and can't figure out how to get back up to the nest ledge, do the parents feed it? Or does it just have to figure it out and that's how they learn?

No fear the chicks will be fed wherever they happen to be until they are able to hunt on their own. And they will hang out around the Hotel after fledging, even if they don't go back to the nestledge because they know that is were food is. As they get better at flying and hunting they will go away for longer and longer periods until such time as they just don't come back to the Hotel ....

Holly, I'm away next week and in town the week after, so you and I can cover for each other! lol :D
Jo:
All 3 chicks with their backs to the camera - it's really easy to tell the boys from the girl when they show us that pose.
Jo:
So do we start to wrap the office towers with bubble-wrap this weekend? ;)
Looking forward to hearing more details.

Did they land on the street or on window ledges?

I don't think so. We know Hurricane was in Grand Forks in the spring (April, I think) but have heard nothing about him since then, or about his brother and sister at all.
As I recall, at least one was rescued by a bus driver from the middle of Portage Avenue in the early hours of the morning. I don't remember about the other two.
