nope .. no bucket.  I just grabbed her and bccs came a running with a box.
Must tell you that Msdolittle is the hero of the day here.

Well, walking towards me is msd with a peregrine in her arms, and the peregrine is behaving quite nicely for her.

Thank goodness for msd's quick thinking and fast action.

Hang on, we have all seen those talons,  MsD, how did you do it?  Weren't you unbelievably nervous.  Did you really get no scratches?
Hero, indeed!!!!

Must tell you that Msdolittle is the hero of the day here. I was at work and got a call from her telling me that a bird was on the old Met. theatre building. We talked for a minute or two, hung up I and got another call..... the bird is down...... Where?..... on the ground...... I'm on my way.
 
So I grapped a box and a sweater and ran to get to msd and help her out.
Well, walking towards me is msd with a peregrine in her arms, and the peregrine is behaving quite nicely for her.
We got her in the box, I called Tracy and we waited at the Radisson till she got there and we handed over Isis to her.
She looked fine, the peregrine, ( although tracy was a sight for sore eyes  ;D)
and Tracy decided to get her checked out just in case.
Thank goodness for msd's quick thinking and fast action.

So thanks, T, you did wonderfully well today.   :-*   pretty sure I owe you a beverage or two.

Little girl is toward the back of the ledge. Harder to see but I see here from my angle. Probably relaxing for now.

Mother Hen, did you see Aura flapping and jumping around earlier?!?

hopefully she waits till tomorrow.



I'm guessing, but I think all that activity was one of the boys. If it was Aura, then she sure is getting ready.  But I think the little miss might've been sitting on the ledge the whole time her brother was showing off... ::)

Maybe someone on the ground or on the sky-cam or ledge cam can enlighten us worry-worts... ???

Great coverage you have there. Wish we had that  
You have ground crew , window crew, cam crew.

I have a good crew, just  no one in buildings that sees anything.or cares to..
glad to see they are returning to nest area ;D ;D

Lots of flapping and jumping, in and out, on the edge, off the edge...

Just enough to really keep all of us on the edge of our seats!  ;D

Welcome back Mother Hen!  You're just in time for quite a bit of action I expect.  How lucky are you to be able to see all the goings on at the nest?!?

I see someone on the ledge of the nestbox and thought it must be Aura, but from your report, I guess it could be one of the boys... ???

Now the sun is glaring in, so can't see the wee birdie well at all...oh, just hopped around a bit on the edge and then flew onto the ledge beside the box.  Must be one of the boys - Aura doesn't move that fast!
 :P :P

One of the siblings has come to the nest. Looks like one of the boys. He was trying to land on the white thingy just over the toward the south side of the Radission and could not quite get a grip. He than landed on the on the roof and flew back to the light  and back again. Now the sibling is on the nest and the little girl trotted over to them. Company at last!

Isis found herself on too low a building this morning and after trying unsuccessfully to gain some altitude as her brothers have learned to do, she ended up on the street and was rescued by MsD and Bccs who were on fledgewatch this morning... 

Oh no! :o

... no bucket.  I just grabbed her and bccs came a running with a box.
WOW!  :o So glad you 2 were there to rescue her, bccs & ms.dolittle! :o What time was that? ??? I did a "drive-by" this morning on my way to an appt. and saw 1 chick on the Rogers Bldg. drum. I also thought I saw a fledgewatcher too. Maybe it was you, ms.dolittle? :-\ Do you have a colourful, woven shoulder bag? ???
