That not really the problem. Bev and Peter are needing time off. Bev, lives and breaths her falcons. I take the morning shift, I could be all alone or I get drop in helpers. Like once you see them fly, you can't stay away. With white gliding down onto the parkade yesterday and rescued. I needed Peters' help rescueing Yellow this morning in the parkade that we are all standing on. They both got picked up by Gord and they look fine but, it is better be safe and get them checked out by the vet. Red was trying to tag Blue , who still has not fledged yet. He is a bad little boy.  lol

Yes, we have cameras , but not enough people for the fledges .Bev and Peter could use about 20 people per area.

Bev used to circulate flyers regarding fledge watch, but I haven’t heard if that was done this year. Were the flyers simply an alert to make people aware of fledglings, or also a request for volunteers?

Yes, we have cameras , but not enough people for the fledges .Bev and Peter could use about 20 people per area. But, they are having at least 8 newbies this year and some of the returning friends.

Three live cams located within Edmonton! You are very lucky!
(I see there is Genesee as well, although further.)

I’m very happy to hear Red returned to the area!

Thanks for your great reports Soaring.

  Red is no longer MIA, he fly back to the  nest building just before 9:30 am. All are in and around nest box.

While fledge watch has started as of Last Thursday. I do the early shift and all was quiet until this morning. When our little red boy fledged, not bad for the first flight. But after about a hour he was off to land on the helicopter pad at the hospital, but  some pigeons spooked him and he went over to a lower building missed the upper roof and fall a small bit to the next roof line ( is OK) and appeared on the ledge again.  
The white and yellow girls were acting up as I was leaving,
they both went up to the nest box roof. And blue likes the nest to herself.

Texted Bev this afternoon for update
Blue in box
White on the roof of the box
Yellow is down on the building roof
