Mr. Bev here again.  Well after 4 rescues in 3 days Bev and I as well as the rest of the watchers are getting a good workout.

Today at 6:30 AM our time Mr. Yellow took a giant step forward and flew to two different buildings coming to rest on the Mazankowski building where the parents "finally" fed him.  They hadn't fed him for most of the day yesterday, probably wanting him to fly.  It worked. 

Bev is down there running around with a couple of other fledge watchers.  She will keep me posted and I will forward it on.

Oh..hmmm..one on the rooftop when I change views.  Not sure if it's a parent or yellow boy.

Fairly dark, but Froona sitting on the ledge looking out and a brother on the roof.  Rest well all, tomorrow is likely to be another day of excitement.

What a day for Bev! 

I just hope that the kids come home for the night...unfortunately, it starts again in the morning.  And how exciting is that!!!!!  It's all for the birds!

Oh boy, yellow boy just flew up to the roof of the nest box..poor Froona..alone again  ::)  Must be a parent up there somewhere with food, I haven't seen a feeding at all yet. 

I'm off to bed, hopefully our red boy was rescued and is well and white boy also.  Was hoping this one would stay put for tonight to give Bev and them a bit of a break...!

Oh my Bev  :o
What a day you've had!  Those falcons are very lucky to have you there  :-*!  It must be absolutely amazing to hold a falcon in your hands.  Keep up the great work Bev and thank you to Mr. Bev for your updates  :-*

Wow, Bev has her work cut out for her. I'm so glad our boys managed better than that, and Vesper as well, once she waited a bit longer. Otherwise we really would have had to have a lot of committed-to-running-out-into-traffic phanatics dowtown!
