Mr. Bev again.  Bev just called and she is in the process of rescuing Mr. Red of a shelf just a little ways off the ground.  He is not strong enough yet to get up by himself.  Hope everything goes well.  Will be going down there in about half an hour.  Will keep you posted.

No, no...stay home...lol!  Auntie Bev has her hands full with your brothers..she needs a break

Getting a little close again

Okay I can see his tape now and I think it is yellow back in the box!

[bccs]

You guys are awesome
Bev, holding a chick, wow oh wow. Knowing that you've give two of them another chance at living, bigger wow -oh wow.
Congrats to all, you're making a difference.

What a good thing Bev got extra help organized.  It can't have hurt to have CBC provide a bit of publicity.  Thank you so much for the updates, Mr Bev.  It's nice for us watching to see Froona with company.

Holy smokes!  You and Bev are sure getting your exercise with this trio of siblings.  I hope Bev has got some help out there this afternoon - besides the construction workers on the site, of course, who seem to be very helpful and have eagle eyes.

Ack..I'm so glad you guys are down there otherwise this would not have ended well - and yes boys are trouble..we keep sayin  .  Wait is he the one home now then? Trying to see from Kitten's picture and on cam now ... 

If he is then it's good he made it home, perhaps he will stay another day or so and you guys can focus on the other two.

Thanks for taking the time to update us Peter!  On the plus side, Bev is finally getting to see her falcons close up...over and over...hehe..as long as they are not hurt then it's all good

Hi.  It Mr. Bev again.  Just got back from putting up Mr. Yellow again.  He dissappeared there for a while but was found and Bev called me to put him back up.  Feisty little guy.  Bigger than Mr. Red and Mr. White.  Seemed to be no worse for his little adventure.

Mr. Red has now decided to fly again and can't be seen so Bev is down there keeping an eye out to where the parents go to feed him.  We may have to do another resue yet.  These "guys" are a little more active than the ones last year.  Hopefully Froona will stay put for a while.

Okay left office and got home and still 2 at home..whew!  The boy still has some white tufts on him...hopefully he will stay home tonight and get rid of those    Froona seems happier now that she is not alone 

Aww..look they are beaking....she's happy to have her bro home 

[kittenface]

Looks like yellow maybe, got this when it first came in

[carly]

Holy moly...boy back on the ledge!!!  Good going, he made it home!!  And look at Froona, how sleek looking she is today..she's all grown up *sniff*

[Ellie]

Any updates for the ones hungry to hear how the fledge is going?  Hopefully the three fledglings you are trying to keep track of are doing well with this new thing........flying!!  Keep up the good work and lots of luck to all of you.

[carly]

Thanks for the update Eli, you guys are all doing a fantastic job!  And most definitely watchers do save lives during fledge time, you are the unsung heroes of the day!  That is great that CBC came by, I will check their site to see if anything is posted!

Good luck today and hope all goes well with our little fledglings

I am so glad that Peter and Bev were there both yesterday afternoon and this morning - they saved the lives of these chicks, that is for sure; by the time I got there for my shift last night at 7:00 p.m., all the action was over.  CBC was there interviewing Bev and one of our other watchers.  Peter and I stayed while Bev went home after her long day there, but everything was quiet with our chicks:  Froona in the nestbox, one chick sitting right next to the camera, and it looked like he was looking through the lens, one perched on the ledge, and one farther back on the building, on the side. 

Now, again all this excitement this morning, and another rescue; I am so glad the chick was not injured.  While the boys are all active, I don't think Froona will leave the nest box for another couple of days - we should all have an exciting weekend!
