Bird Cams Around the World

One of my neighbors joined me downtown tonight for some falcon watching. We saw several flights back and forth from the ledge to the U Building roof. At one point Yellow, I think, was on the stick, and flew off way out over 333 Market Street before finally landing up on that building's roof. Also the two girls were on the balcony railing above the nest ledge when a juvie from the U roof joined them. I think that may have been White, who ended up in the balcony itself. He used the milk crate steps up there to get out, and flew over to the U roof. When we left, both boys were on the corner of the U roof and both girls on the balcony railing. Niecey was on the stick. Not sure where Little Dad was, but an adult flew over shortly after we arrived. Also, Niecey delivered some food to the two girls on the railing. Am not going to be able to give a nightly report like this every night.

Am seeing one juvie at the end of the ledge. A while ago three were up there. An adult flew past the end of the ledge a bit ago, which of course set off screams from the juvie on the end of the ledge. It's pretty warm here today, and a bit humid, but not all that bad. Rain is forecast for tomorrow.

Am seeing Little Dad on the stick right now. Adult on ledge in evening often means no juvies. Maybe later.

so happy they are doing so well

Cameras are not working. Still night time on mine.

No cameras for me, either. We might have to wait until tomorrow. :-(

Not sure what time the cams started working this morning. When I first tuned in one of the girls was busy working on some breakfast near the point. One of the boys was standing on the point. From the look of his crop, he had already eaten. Looks like one of the adults has lost a primary flight feather, which is stuck on a cobweb near the camera perch.

Little Dad delivered some food to the point about five minutes ago. Two of them fought over it, but one mantled it and is now working on it. There had been what looked like a whole Chimney Swift lying near the building. One juvie is working on that now. One with a full crop doesn't seem interested. Am trying to see band colors, but not having much luck.

Couldn't resist the lovely evening to spin downtown for some falcon watching. Right before I left home, Blue was sacked out by the stick, and I saw Red take off over toward the train station. When I got downtown, the two boys were on the roof of the Carson Building on the left side. I could see on my phone that Blue was still zonked. After a while, it had to be Red who flew in and landed on the U roof at the corner. Red eventually flew over toward the nest ledge and knocked Little Dad off the stick. I don't know where he went, but Red later landed on the Carson roof, not far from her brothers. Right as I was heading to my car, one of the boys took off from the roof. Other than the "airplane" take off, he was flying like an adult. I don't know where those birds are spending the night, and since I was alone, I wanted to leave while there was plenty of daylight. Niecey was on the top of 333 Market the entire time. And I checked the cam when I got home and see that Blue has relocated to somewhere.

White's on the ledge.
