I don't know. Either one fledgling was returned to the nest, or one made it back on their own. The one at the top of the image is the one who was not there earlier. He/she was not visible for long; I think he/she went into the nest, since the other chick was looking in that direction.
Hopefully TPC will have an update soon. I hope the missing girl is safe somewhere.

Alison:
This morning, one on the balcony:
As of a few minutes ago, there are two on the balcony.
Alison:
From yesterday; the chick who decided to stay in the nest.

--- Quote from: BirdLover on July 10, 2017, 16:45 ---TPC, I remember a few years back when a fledgling got stuck in a (chimney?) and was heard by workers. Luckily she/he was saved. Is that place still a hazard or has it been taken care for for our fledglings.
Just curious. :-\

Nothing has been done at the site - but it isn't a common occurrence - it has happened twice in 35 years - first time the chimney was still in operation - no it didn't get toasted, the chimney was for heating so turned off and cleaned in the summer - the second time was with Beatrix a few days after she fledged. I send an email around to folks who have had contacts with the peregrines in the past when they start fledging so they can check places like that - so far no reports.
A more fascinating one was the chick that got caught in a paint booth exhaust (about 18 inches wide) on the top of the old Eaton's building (now MTS Centre). The paint booth wasn't used any more but an employee on the floor below heard something odd and called us. We went to check the roof and couldn't find anything. Then just as we were leaving we walk past this exhaust (we had no idea what it was) we heard a little scratching. No idea how the bird got in there but it did. Heck can't even remember who that was now or who I was with but I seem to remember another set of hands ... going to have to do a little research now ....

I remember that one too! I'm hoping she is found soon. Thanks for the info.
