I STILL THINK IF NG COULD BE HERE AT THE NEST SIGHT, SHE WOULD BE. SHE DID LOOK ALOT WORSE THIS MORNING THAN YESTERDAY I THINK. I JUST CAN'T GET HER POOR FACE OUT OF MY MIND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT WINDOW THIS MORNING. I WANTED TO REACH OUT AND HELP HER, BUT ALL I COULD DO WAS GET THE VIDEO IN HOPES THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HER. OK, TEARS FLOWING AGAIN.........

Group hug for Reenie! :bughug:

Reenie, I'm hurting so bad, but I can't imagine the pain, anguish, and helplessness you must feel. Seeing her is so hard. Especially this morning. I would have a real hard time with that. The worst part is that NO one can do anything anymore than what has been done. Can't imagine what lies ahead.

6:34 Lil Dad still on the stick. One boy is this side of the stick, and getting close to the edge which worries me. The other boy is on the other side of the stick further down the ledge, and he too is starting to get closer to the edge! :nailbite:

Still no sign of N.G. :cryinggirl:

ABSOLUTELY NANCY!!! Let's add Jane too! I wish I could be there to give it myself!

I tried to google to see if falcons go away alone if they know they are sick, I got everything but. I posed the question on useewildlife. There is a birding expert that frequents the cams. I hope he knows the answer. Stay safe NG & come back

Reenie, it took such courage to take that video. A labour of love for NG. Hopefully, those that are knowledgeable will be able to look at that video and help determine what is wrong. Poor thing. She has really stolen our hearts, and we are heartsick.

Thanks for trying that Pat. I would like an answer to that question.

There is a collective heartache here but none run deeper than those of you who are in Harrisburg and who see NG on a regular basis. Thank you to those who have searched hours for her. That would not have been an easy task physically or emotionally. My prayer is that NG is lying low to recuperate and that Lil Dad knows where she is and is taking food to her until she is strong enough.

I did not have the heart to watch the video. :cryinggirl:

I am new to all this and am amazed how quickly this family has captured my heart. I have shed some tears over NG. I hate to see any animal suffer especially when there is nothing we can do to help her. I've spent a lifetime taking care of human Moms and Babies. Nature wasn't always kind there either. I guess all we can do now is say our prayers and wait. I so enjoy watching the guys grow and change every day! It is amazing how fast they mature. Lil Dad is such a good father. I don't even remember how I found out about these falcons but I am definitely hooked!

I ASKED THE QUESTION TO A FALCONER ABOUT NG GOING AWAY BECAUSE SHE WAS SICK. HE SAID NO, THEY DON'T DO THAT. SO I'M GUESSING SHE COULDN'T MAKE IT BACK :cryinggirl:

Reenie, that was a really sad post! poo....

I join in the group hug for Reenie & Jane. We all appreciate the time & effort you put in to check on the situation with NG and the others in the family. I have not seen this morning's video yet, but I was wondering if any of those who read here are in touch with any raptor rehabbers who could look at the video from yesterday and today to offer any ideas.

Who's making that alarm call??

REENIE · **Joined:** Sun Jul 26, 2009 6:57 pm **Posts:** 19893

I DIDN'T HEAR AN ALARM CALL, BUT I DID SEE LIL DAD ON THE POINT AND THEN GONE AND THEN BACK AND THEN GONE AGAIN. NOW LIL DAD IS DOWN AT THE POINT WORKING ON SOME PREY.

He was just there a minute ago and now he has prey.

Maybe I misunderstood the call, but it wasn't coming from Dad. Was it one of the boys?

ljames · **Posted:** Wed May 16, 2012 7:17 pm

Do the chicks not see him? Maybe they are not hungry.

WELL THE CHICKS DO KNOW HOW TO ALARM CALL :egg11:

I'M GLAD TO SEE LIL DAD EATING TO KEEP UP HIS STRENGTH :-)

I'm glad to see him eating. He has to keep his strength up. Oops a chick down there. He saved them a little.
