gosh, everyone has abandoned this little girl.  She has just woken from a nap, standing on ledge, preening,  looks like she put a bit of gel in her feathers, Friday nite and all! lol.  Really comfortable on the ledge.  Lots of leg stretches, bit of wing stretching,  hopefully she will wait another day to fledge, but she sure is curious about what she sees down below. Lots of head bobbing, and can hear others off in the distance.

well she decided she was interested after all and tore it apart and ate all by herself. Now in the belly down, beak on the ledge position...

yes, it's from earlier and for some reason, she isn't interested... I think that's why Dad fed her a short time ago..

looks like a big hunk of food laying over there, but could be from earlier.   :)

well that lasted for all of 10 seconds... Dad gone ,, didn't see if she took food or not..  Lightening not saying a word... She was so excited,,, like a little puppy that had been abandoned and someone came back for her.... oh it was so sweet though.  and sad.  She was shaking all over.

Looks like Dad brought food and stayed on the ledge and fed Lightning and then took the remainder away.... Of course she squawked through her whole meal and now a bit dumbfounded that he's gone WITH the food..

gosh I just sat back down too!  Little dear is up on the ledge,, its seemed like she had one foot out as if she was going to try to step over to the ledge,, they,, nope, lets just clean our talons up instead.  You can realy hear other falcons down below it sounds like and the screeching gets closer then farther away, like someone is flying about!  She keeps looking down and around too, Suppose she is watching them, seems she thinks about stepping out every time one flys by.  lol

oh, flap flap,, she wants to go so bad,  she has almost lost it a few times.  wow.. what I mean is changed her mind at the last second then struggled to get turned around and back in off ledge.

I'm pretty sure I can hear her siblings in the background, calling out.  Perhaps encouraging her, perhaps demanding food.  who knows?
