I am back and still am crying. Eagle 63, I know you had a lot invested in this as I do in my site in Edmonton.  I watched with love as the chicks were born. I recorded with scapes and I was so honored to watch as princess helped that third chick out in the afternoon. I have been watching many cams for a few years now and had never seen the female help like that.  that picture will become Part of my collection
As devastated as I am and I am sure you and many others are, today I felt a sense of Hope.
With so many people here and watching and the  dedication of CBC and Tracy and the firefighters. It gave me hope that these beautiful birds and others like them will always be protected . They can't help but not be with so many of us. 
My husband warned me a few years ago that I must be able to share the joy  but the many sadnesses that will come with the viewing of nature.
i am very faint of heart but I have learned that with tragedy  comes something to be learned.
We learned today how dedicated a falcon is to its young. Princess tried so hard and she trusted the firefighter to take her chicks.  she is one heck of a falcon. some were wondering where the male was, but  he knew that his princess could keep them warmer than him.   
they  may lay another clutch . we here in Edmonton  have eggs just laid May 22 and 25th. 
But if they do not they will be back and hopefully nest in the nest box


I will keep checking in on this site. I have been busy since the hatching  but I will hope  for another go at it.
so my friends let us think of the joy those little ones brought us. fly Free my young ones.  Be at peace

Your falcon Friend
Bev.

Many of us are wondering that very thought and we won't know until Tracy is able to provide an answer. No doubt she is inendated with stuff today and is feeling just as raw about all of this if not more so than any of us because of all the time she has invested to this project. She and the team have an up close an personal investment in this project.

Emeraldeyes, you make an apt point about so many being cut off from nature. Some people have no interest in nature, some of love nature. I can only speak for myself as someone having loved nature for 30 years and understanding that Mother Nature does truly have the final word in matters concerning nature it still deeply saddens my heart to have witnessed this. However I am equally glad to know that there are other people who have invested just as much of their own personal lives in watching this webcam feel the same way I do. It gives me hope that there are still many who care about Mother Nature and still feel the loss personally while the many who could care less go about their busy hectic crazy lives not giving a rat's you know what about our feathered friends.

I was wondering the same thing...

emeraldeyes:
Am inconsolably sad, but also encouraged to know there are others to whom this family meant so much.  In today's world where so many of us are pretty much cut off from nature, it was such a privilege to be able to observe birds just doing what they do.
