GOING BACK THIS MORNING. AFTER 16 HOURS YESTERDAY, I MAY NEED TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK TODAY! WILL TRY TO UPDATE WHEN I CAN. IT'S JUST EASIER ON FACEBOOK SINCE I'VE ONLY GOT MY LITTLE PHONE OUT THERE WITH ME. THANKS FOR ALL THE POSTS AND FOR THE ONES THAT TRANSFERRED UPDATES OVER TO THE FORUM FROM FACEBOOK!

OH, AND RG WAS THE BIGGEST, THEN WHITE, THEN BLUE. OF COURSE LIL MAN WAS THE SMALLEST :-)

I posted a bunch of pictures from yesterday's action on my wall on Facebook yesterday. I will try to get some of them up over here after the fledge watch is over, but I might not even get the rest of the ones I wanted to post from yesterday up on Facebook for a few days. These long days in the sun really take it out of you. Reenie and Jane are like the Energizer bunnies of Falcon Watch - no matter how much I wanted to stay all day yesterday, I had to take a break for a while - just couldn't take the heat for that long. Plus all my batteries were dead, so I couldn't make calls or take pictures unless I charged them. I'm taking charger cords with me today!

Watch for White to make an attempt at regaining the ledge very early this morning, then see if Yellow doesn't lead Red and Blue into the wonders of flight later today! Keep your eyes on the cams today, folks, it's going to be a 4-ring circus!

BTW, don't know if anyone mentioned on here that twice yesterday, Lil Dad and Niecey alarm called and sped off to herd a Bald Eagle away from their territory. As large as the falcons look when I am watching them, when they are diving at a Bald Eagle, they look soooo tiny! It is really something to watch one of those huge eagles fleeing as a pair of falcons harry it or actively attack it, like a tiny terrier nipping at its heels.

Better end this now, or Reenie will beat me to downtown AGAIN, lol!

Sorry for posting that white was the biggest. Never did see or hear the size of RG.

Great news about Blue and Red fledging early this morning.

I hope all the kids fly well today, and I hope all the watchers downtown in Harrisburg stay cool!

Oh so exciting. All 4 are flyers.

Wish I could figure out how to find Reenie's FB pics on BCAW site. Have been a member since last season but saw Reenie had entries yesterday but no pics saw bcaw photos but nothing recent. So not sur what I'm doing wrong. But most important is that the babies are all ok.

Just checked out the cam. What an empty mess that ledge is now. With Spidey the lone occupant along with remnants of leftover prey. Hope all the little ones are ok.

Thanks so much to all! What an exciting and exhausting time. I am another one with no Facebook connection, so I really appreciate all who keep this site current.

Parents are in the scrape now bonding. 2 kids yelling at them! :girlcrazy:

Better get myself in gear & get downtown. I'm sure they need more help now that there are 2 in the sky & another 1 to go!

Nancy, it is a crazy time and so much on our minds all the time!!! LOL!!

Faith · **Posted:** Sat Jun 01, 2013 9:24 am

OH SPIDEY! Are you lonely? Just wait! Someone will be visiting soon!!

Faith · **Posted:** Sat Jun 01, 2013 9:26 am

Hey! Someone's there now in the shade of the pole!! Could that be Lil Man?

If they all fledged, that one made it back up to the ledge. I saw it earlier when Niecey and Lil Dad were bonding in the scrape. Can you see him now? Running along the edge!

Faith · **Posted:** Sat Jun 01, 2013 9:31 am

On the stick now!! You can see him now. Can you identify??
