the one on the ledge is just gapping.  Wished we could see what he sees.  Oh, one of the adults just flew up over.

Mom swoops into the pic now and then - maybe they're close by, I assume they'd put the fallen chick on the roof? How would she get into the nest though....I think we'll soon find out either way!

clearly both parents are unhappy!  can hear mechanical sounds so hopefully they are going to return the chick soon.
