that is sad, would love to see them before they leave for the winter ::)

They might come back once or twice but the FalconCam won't be live all summer and Shaw TV won't show an empty nestbox for the next couple of months either.   We monitor the cameras year-round, so if someone pops up we'll probably catch a glimpse of them and if we can catch a decent photo we'll be sure to post it no worries.

I guess 3rd time WAS the charm for our little male. Since we haven't seen his sisters at the nestbox, I was beginning to think you and Dennis would be our "eyes" until they migrate. I look forward to your posts and photos, TPC. BTW, have you looked at your #'s? 10 more and you hit 10,000! WOW!  :o Thanks for the PF education!

Haven't seen anything of the chicks or adults at the box or in the immediate vicinity at all today ...

1538h CDT - one of the chicks is across from the nestbox on the roof of the Rogers building.  Could be any of the three including little brother ...

I'm just itching to be downtown, doing fledge-watch this year, but life keeps getting in the way!  Wish I could be down there now, looking for the little guy! :-\

I doubted he would stay put. I wonder if Princess or Pip used food to lure him. Hmmmm!

I just watched the wayward guy sitting on the ledge wildly flapping his wings. For sure, it seems he wants to soar again.  ::)
