SusanE:
There was an accidental fledge here this morning with the juvenile landing on the sidewalk. He checked out okay and was placed back on the nest ledge. The rescuers checked his mouth and breath, and all checked out okay. :) (There was concern that NG may have passed on her problem, if it were some sort of infectious disease, to the juvies.)
Kinderchick:
Very sad to see NG in that condition. :'(
susha:
Thanks for the update, Linder. So, so sad about the female, but good news about the dad carrying on successfully and so great that there are dedicated fledgewatchers once the kids take flight! :)
jadoo:
...it does not surprise me that they can't find the female NG - video they had of her on YouTube showed (to me) a VERY ill bird...in my (limited) experience, animals that ill tend to try to hide away when they are dying...
(warning, if you check out the video, it's very hard to watch - sad)... :(

Latest news from the site:
5/22/2012 :: Update on Rachel's Falcons
Despite daily search efforts, the adult female has not been located. The male has been providing food for the eyases. He is also a very good teacher. After the eyases make their first attempt at flight, he'll provide the fledges with flight and hunting lessons. We'll be observing the progress of the fledges and rescue them if they make any bad landings.
