I worry about Lil Dad in all this. He's not a young man anymore, and he's got everything dumped on him. How will he ever find the strength to defend his ledge, should another falcon come along, even worse, another pair looking for a nesting spot...

If NG does not return, can we matchmake S2 with Lil Dad? She'd treat him real good! Just sayin'....... Now, that would be a pair to be reckoned with :egg 19:

OH LORGALE, THAT WOULD BE A GREAT MATCH!

GREG! THANKS SO MUCH FOR GIVING US HOPE THAT LIL DAD ISN'T MOURNING OVER NG. I DO THINK THEY LOOK FOR THEM, BUT MAYBE THEY DON'T MOURN, JUST US HUMANS.

I thought he was 12 this year, but perhaps someone else here can correct me.

Just thinking back to all the times I was frustrated that Lil Dad couldn't get more time on the eggs, or feeding the babes.... I'd trade this to have NG back, anyday.

I think Reenie said he was something like 9 this year.

Lil Dad fledged in 2003 from Walt Witman bridge and arrived in Harrisburg 2005.

NG arrived in September 2010

The kiddies are getting almost as tall as Lil Dad. In bad light you can't tell who it is if you can't see colour patterns., Two beside the stick, very close to the edge :egg14:

I know if they had a cam at the Bell buildding 30 min walk from me I'd be there keeping an eye out.No info at all on that site

Done babysitting. Forgot what it was like to have a 3 year old more than 4 hours. :wildman:

They were both yelling their heads off--what a commotion! :egg12:

Getting caught up here after a busy afternoon. Looks like many food drops today. Saw the one that was uninterested. Maybe ate before, I'm sure. Lil Dad Really keeping them well fed.

Greg, thanks so much for your encouraging words. We humans have a hard time with Nature's harshness. When Mom was gone, Lil Dad moved on rather quickly too. Like Red Girl and CJ. That is the way of Falcon's and all birds I guess.
