Somebody call TPC and let her know about the sighting... but, the Free Press building?!!  Isn't that on Mountain or Church?  That's a long way from downtown!!  Is it even possible it could be Cade?

Does anyone know if there are still fledgewatchers out there this evening?  And how would one get ahold of a fledgewatcher?  Leanne is keeping her out for fledgewatchers but has seen anyone yet.

In Oakland, Calif. falcons nested on a bridge.   The mother was found shot with pellets in her wing and body and 10 days later one of her offsprings (three months old) was found with the same injuries.   The state game warden is offering $1,000 reward hoping it will lead to an arrest.   Both birds are in stable condition,  but its not known if they will fly again.

That is horrible why would someone do such a thing.  :o

Thanks for the updates on the fledging!!   If you are like me you keep up with falcons around the world.

a little news:  my daughter Leanne who works for the Downtown Biz has spotted a young falcon chick, who could only be Cade on the Free Press Bldg.  He is there right now at the top by a vent on the northwest side.  She's very famialiar with the falcon's and the project so I trust she is confident of what she is seeing.  I'd like to let TPC know this but am not sure how to reach her.  Or perhaps she already knows and can see him from the cam??
OH! - The Fledgewatchers must be able to contact TPC???

Wow!  Reading over the posts from Jazzerkins, Saoirse and Sami on fledge watching, I could definitely feel the excitement, wonder and anxiety of Cade's fledge.
Thanks for the eye witness reports!

It felt like I was there with you guys too!

I second that!  Thank all of you for the wonderful first hand reports... but now I feel even more disappointed in myself for not being able to be there with you!  It would have truly been an experience of a lifetime.  Still saying prayers that Cade has found himself a safe spot for now and that he can be located soon.  Hope to joing the fledgewatch crew tomorrow night or Thursday.  

And Miss Queen Bea... STAY PUT!!!

side bar here for gemcitygemini:  cbc radio 89.3 on the fm dial. Best information radio morning, afternoon & night.

.........and now back to Cade........hope there is sight of him!

Also gcg, on the cbc falcon cam page, scroll down the page and under name the chicks poll you will see advert for 89.3

Thank you so much, irenekl and Rcf for this info. I will tune in and by your descriptions, I am very sure I will keep my dial set to 89.3.  :-*
