Bird Cams Around the World

How interesting normangelo that she may be trying to lure the chicks away from the ledge because of the danger she interprets there. Poor baby, but it sounds like she may be coming around though. Very nice pictures, thanks Reenie.

I didn't see how they got to this point. The other chick is by the post.

Well she's chased him off the stick and is there now. Lil' Dad just flew back to the shield.

One big crazy, happy family again, looks like.

This is kind of late, but needed to eat, do a few quick things outside, watch the cam a little, and read the posts. Got downtown around 2:45. NG was on the window ledge right around the corner from the nest ledge, but then moved to two other ledges in front of the building. Lil Dad was on the stick. I actually wrote down times of what happened, as I wondered how long NG would stay in each spot. She was over on the ledge of the U Building for about half an hour. Around 3:30 she was on the camera above the scrape. During this time Lil Dad took off toward the river, and I'm wondering if he returned with prey, as I missed him coming back due to a stop at the Amtrak Station. Saw him fly off the ledge when I came out of the station. Went up the garage roof to look around, and then spotted Reenie and her sister out in front of the Carson Building. They left around 4:30, and that's when Lil Dad flew over to the steeple. He wasn't there long, took off, and two minutes later he returned with prey that he took to the point. I could see the feathers flying. NG sat on the cam and watched all of this. Finally Lil Dad went back further on the ledge, and I assumed he was feeding the chicks. At 4:45 NG flew off the camera, circled around, and landed on the ledge. I waited to see if she would fly off the ledge with the food, but she didn't. Walked over to look at the monitor in the Education Office, and was certain it was NG doing the feeding. Walked across the street, and saw Lil Dad on his camera perch, and was SO happy she was doing the feeding. Was about ready to leave at 5:15 when a nice couple arrived and asked me if I happened to know where the falcon nest ledge was. Well, I shared a lot of information with them. They were very interested in all of it. Also gave them the web site to this forum, so hope they'll be able to log on. Was delighted to see NG on the stick before I started this. Lil Dad had been on the shield, but he left before I started this way too long message. Sorry, but I wanted to share what I observed this afternoon.

Oh My Goodness. my prayers were answered. What a way to end a Mother's day! And on the 13th! It took her all this time to become comfortable with the ledge again. Poor thing to be that frightened.

A BIG thank you to Reenie, Jane, ljames with the good pictures, and all others I have missed. It takes time and devotion to do all of this and it is really appreciated by me and I'm sure many others. If not for you Gals, we would not have the hands on reporting. We all LOVE these Birds that have become household names. They are in our hearts. Now we have some peace.

I thank everybody for their reports... Only way to keep up to date! You all do such a good job! and that ledge is sure a mess!
