Lol...nothing like a 'falcon' escort off the premises

Mom looks just fine, just looking up, watching the guy get to the roof I presume.    
Oops mom just took off.  My guess is that she has gone up to the roof just to make sure they leave.

Yay...go mom!  I'm so relieved!!  Was so worried how she would handle all this after her missing mate vanished.  Thank you!

The bag has arrived safely back.  Chicks are being placed on the ledge. Very cute the way one of them is looking at this guy who is trying to clean up a little while he is there and put some of the debris in the bag.  The bag is gone and I expect the man to follow soon. It almost looks like he is trying to take a picture with a cell phone.  Or maybe calling to say he is ready to leave?  He is out of sight now.  AND MOM IS BACK IN ABOUT A SECOND.

Excellent..yay!  That was quick, good on them.  Let me know when mom comes in and if she's ok.

[maggieblue]

All back in the bag and on their way back to the ledge.  The camera switched to the ledge shot where the fellow in the shorts is waiting for them.

Phew..thanks Maggie for keeping me updated.  Hopefully they will get them up and back to mum ASAP.

They are just finishing banding the third chick and back in the bag he goes.  That was all pretty quick.  Looks like they are going to have a brief photo opp. I hope very brief.

[maggieblue]

The banding process is underway and it looks like they are trying to be pretty quick about it.  One chick was put in what looked like a little bucket and weighed on a scale.  Can't see too much (banding crew in the way) but I think that the banding is going. A woman sprayed a little water on the 2 still in the bag.  I am sure that there will be pictures on the site later for the people who can't see this at work.  Trying to get chick number 2 out now and decided to ditch the big gloves. And here s/he comes.

[maggieblue]

The guy on the ledge just had to duck.  Angry mom.  The picture has gone out now while they switch over to the banding feed.

[carly]

Thanks Maggie, they better be fast.

[maggieblue]

I left the room for a minute and missed the arrival, however there is a man with a big black bag is on the ledge. He is putting the chicks in the bag and now sending it off.  I saw mom flash by once and I am sure that she is not far away.

[carly]

Hmmm..they are late then.  I hope they cancel, they said they would if she was too stressed. 

Just read on BCAW they are on the way down to get the chicks...*sigh*

[maggieblue]

Mom has been on the ledge for a while now guarding her chicks (who are still napping) and watching whatever is going on above her.

They are doing the banding right now, I can't see though at work.
