When I got up just after 6 there was one there.  I watched for about 10 min.  He hoped in the box and then back on the box edge, looked inside the box and then turned around and was looking out for quite awhile.  I figured I would go make my coffee, came back to look while it was brewing and he was gone.

Sigh . . . that ledge and nestbook sure look empty right about now. Wonder where their favourite daytime hangouts are now?

Shoot!  Now I wish I'd gotten up - looked at the clock at 5:45 and figured they'd have left for the day and rolled over for a few more zzzzz's.  Maybe tomorrow, when I'll have to be up anyway.

There are two, one in the nestbox and one on the edge. They both appeared to be chowing down or fueling up for their flight. Both now are having a conversation. Probably filing their flight plan for the day. We"ve been cleared for takeoff. One just left. Other will likely follow soon. :'(

 :) A sight to behold. After reading the posts from last night, I too, am watching the beautiful silhouette sitting on Cade's corner. With the citylights in the backround, this should be immortalized in a framed picture. So peaceful. This will be so missed. My favourite time of day, from now until daybreak.  :'(

Doreen....great photos,  thanks!!

And thanks to all of you for the running commentaries of the birds when you see them flying by.    I'm so far away, but I can picture it all.    Hope you keep it up when the cameras are down.

Someone's on the nest box edge.  What a beautiful sight.  Gorgeous bird silhouette overlooking the citylights.

Was getting ready to shut 'im down for the night...not now ::)

I saw a few fly-bys as well - so cool! 8)

It'll be falcon cam withdrawal rehab for a few of us I'm guessing!

Sure was interesting to see the "fly-by"  of them all.  Saw both land on the ledge tonight.  Cade moved just in time..........little rascal blocked the cam ::)  Was so nice to see the second last evening of the cam at work.
We will all be suffering "cam" and "chick" withdrawal!  He's still in front of the cam.......no city lights either.  (Think this is sort of repetition of what everyone else has said as I was too slow to get it posted)

Nice to see 2 birds back in the nestbox for the night. Is it Cade & Bea? :-\

We couldn't tell but I'd be willing to guess that's who it is.  Pretty sure the second to return was Bea based on size.

Great photo, Doreen - thanks!  :)

 ;D

I was hoping to get the 3rd but it's getting to dark.  :(

You did great with the first two, Doreen!

Good thing TPC left us with the ledge cam view or we wouldn't have seen anything tonight!!!  It sure is amazing that they continue to come home everynight isn't it?  Just one more night for us to watch...  ::) :( :'(

Darn clouds making it dark too early tonight!  What is Bea doing?  Drinking the puddle?
I think, yes!
