I may have just seen the one Kim is concerned about in the box. Pretty much brown all over, but he was moving so much I couldn't get a decent picture. I guess there could be more than one who is this brown by now though. Actually, he moved "through the box" never really stopping, then got back on the ledge.

I'm 99.9% certain that one of them flew. Red and white boys are below the ledge and on that slanted cement ledge. First it was just red boy and next thing I knew, white boy hopped out and joined him. The male was hanging out kind of low on the building so I went walking all around that area but didn't see anyone. They were both dive bombing me which tells me that someone has fledged. I hate this!!!!!

OMG! NO WONDER THEY WERE DIVE BOMBING YOU! DO YOU HAVE TO RESCUE HIM OR IS HE OK?

He's actually on the same level as the roof of the garage where I was. I can't believe I didn't see him!!! He's on a ledge behind the stairwell. It's a good sized ledge. Hopefully when he flies he'll fly toward the garage and not toward the buildings. One of the adults is on the ledge down lower keeping an eye on him. It's either yellow boy or no band.

Sounds like a classic keep an eye on him, keep your fingers crossed but leave him alone situation to me.

I was on the garage roof across the street from the nest a few minutes ago. I didn't stay long. There was only one kid on the sloping ledge below the box ledge. Actually he was on the level part at the very ledge, looking over. he looked physically comfortable but was calling some. I bet he and whichever other one jumped off the box ledge this morning will be the next to go.

An adult flew up and perched partway down the Brandywine Building, looking across, maybe keeping tabs on the first guy to leave.

If you only saw one under the ledge then that means two have fledged!!! The first was Yellow Boy because I see Green Girl and no band in the box now.

OK, I HAVE TO GO, BUT REMEMBER A BIT AGO, I POSTED THERE WAS ONE IN THE BOX EATING. SO MAYBE A SECOND ONE DIDN'T FLEDGE. I HAVE TO GO NOW, HOPE ALL IS OK.

Just for the record, there is no one in the box right this second...
