Mom did a good feeding in the late morning, but like E4 , she is a door and could not see if chick number 3 got anything. She feed the other 2 well, but the little one was on the cameras' right side and she was not showing us.

Third chick hatched around midnight last night.

Can you believe, that late at night, the chick grandma went out to check.

Oh yes soaring west, I can believe this.  Bev is such a trooper when it comes to helping these amazing Falcons!!

Last night I went to Bell tower, and sat for about 10 minutes before I heard the sound. For all of you the Bell ledge is way up there(reminds me of the friendly giant). But to the east was one flying and landed on the ATB tower ledge, than came the feather clouds raining down. Then as I moved the truck one started to decline slowly from the same area and l thought it was going to land on the truck, but turned and landed on a short building in front of me. Than noisy one with food came in and than left with it. I ran around to the front and found one eating on the upper ledge of that building. I than went to the parkade to get a better look but it was not in the same spot. Scanned one end to the other and found one down on the lowest part of the building and could not jump up to the ledge to get out. Than raced home to find Bev`s phone #.
