No falcons in sight at the moment. Severe storm watch for our area until 10:00 tonight. Still planning on running downtown after dinner unless the storms arrive by then.

Spent about an hour and a half downtown tonight. Pretty sure it was Green on the stick for a while, and I was able to see that feather dancing for real. One of the girls was on the point of the U roof, and found Niecey at the louvers under the U roof. First time I've seen her in a while. Found Lil Dad on the window sill around the corner from the nest ledge when I needed to go into the Amtrak station. When I came out the girl on the U was gone. Green flew a circle around the Carson Building and landed on top of one of the three sets of windows on the left side of the Carson Building. After a bit, his one sister came to sit opposite him. Then another falcon came from around the side of 333 and nearly took my head off. It circled around near the Mulberry Street Bridge and joined the other two juvies. Noticed that Niecey was no longer over at the U Building, but this third falcon was acting very much like a juvie, and the other two didn't go after it or anything, so I feel about 90% certain I saw three juvies. It was getting pretty dark, and had trouble seeing colors on that third falcon. Somewhere around 8:45 they started taking off. One girl landed on a louver ledge behind 333 and couldn't tell where the other one got to. Missed seeing Green take off, but saw him flying toward the Carson Building. It was too dark to tell where he went, and it was WAY past my curfew.

I saw someone flying overhead and screaming their head off at 7:15 this morning as I stepped out of the 5th St garage.

Thanks for your report z28taxman! And welcome to the forum. About that third falcon last night. It was doing these big wing stretches and being in what I call the airplane mode. Unless Niecey is reverting back to her younger years, this was a juvie. Don't know that adults act like that.

z28taxman :welcome

Thanks for all the coverage and pictures and the report from yesterday too, Jane. I was in Philadelphia yesterday and had this overwhelming urge to get on a bus or train or something and head to Harrisburg. I would have done it too had I not had all the kids with me at the airport.

Glad to see all are ok, it's always a concern .

Hope to watch the cam a little later. Wait, is the streaming cam not working anymore?

Agreed that it would be nice to see you again, ljames. Looks like Niecey is in front of the scrape right now. And it's a juvie? Looks so grown up!

Crimes, there's a juvie at the end of the ledge, and Niecey is up there near the orange post with some BIG prey. Looks like a pigeon. Juvie is looking over its right wing with its beak open and is surely screaming. Juvie now has the food and Niecey is gone. REALLY missing the live cam.

WELCOME z28taxman!! Always nice to have extra eyes are the action.

Jane thanks so much for your FULL report and Reenie for your "eyes on" today too. Miss the Action, but at least we can see them there.
