Good question, swinwk...I've seen parents do that before...the way mom was acting, I have to wonder if there was a kid nearby. The entire time she was there (10 min) she was really looking around..leaning way back to look right/left of the box...even down. She never just sat..she was looking almost the entire time...I never actually heard anything..even when she started vocalizing, I cranked up the volume to see if I could hear a kid calling back...I couldn't..but, maybe she could..and that's when she left.

I haven't found any recent updates...so, I hope everything has gone ok today.

I won't be around until late afternoon Sunday. Sure hope I come home to some good reports!!

I have watched the adult males, teach the kids how to fly in aerial lines and how to get higher and higher so they can ride the thermals. It is hard to describe who they do it but amazing to watch.
our males do a lot of they prey transfer with kids. but we have seen females do it also. last year Chase brought foo d to ?Green band girl and black band male.

so I have seen them both do these things
he is probably very busy out there.

Actually, no. And this has been a topic of conversation for a few days. We remarked that he did this disappearing act right before first fledge as well. I don't think we've seen him since he delivered that 6:00pm meal on Tuesday.

I just talked to Bob. Eventful day! Hunter took a flight up to Zion's Bank, landing behind the letters, then slipped down behind them in an area Bob knows is hard for them to fly out of. He got security to take him up and sure enough she was down 15 feet below the edge. He found an long wooden plank and set it up to make sort of a 'peregrine ladder'. She used it and flew out eventually. Then making a good flight with Mom and Ace up to top of COB. Bob is very happy she is flying so well. Skye remains in that same area she fledged to, although flew over to an opposite shelf further inside the shopping court. Bob is alerting security that she is there and to call him if they find her on the ground. The crew is headed home now to return very early tomorrow. BTW, I will mention the weird food drop in the box from Mom. Wonder if that was when Hunter was missing.

This is kind of funny. This was Tuesday when Hunter was picked up the FIRST time. Steve has a nice scab.

Hi Lizzy.

When you post the link, just remove the "s" at the end of http. For some reason when I copy my links over, I have the same problem, so I know that's why it posts here as a link versus an embedded video.

Hope this helps. I'll post the video link embedded.
