HARRISBURG ~ MAY 2012 PART II

Carly, you have a good point there, and one I feel deserves credit. I tend to agree.

I also can't help but feel that Lil Dad must know that something is not quite right with NG at this time and is either taking food to her, or at least has an idea of where she is or understands why she is staying away.

The whole situation makes me terribly sad. :tissue:

Saw Lil Dad fly off the stick a few moments ago. Don't think he's on the ledge, but it's almost impossible to see now. I'm thinking about the times earlier this spring when I tried to find the night roost. How I wish I had found it. While watching him on 333 Market this afternoon, he was looking all around, but that's nothing new. He could have been looking for prey. I have obligations tomorrow and can't get downtown. Friday is a different story, though.

I tried to watch the video but couldn't finish it. I feel so bad for NG. Thank you to Jane, Reenie, and any others that have tried to find her and/or have chronicled this tragic time. I hope, if she doesn't recover, that she is found so we can find out what happened to her.

Reenie, the news that the Falconer told you, hit me hard! It says a lot without saying anything. I didn't see the video from this morning. Where is it? I'm having trouble thinking about anything else.

I'M WARNING YOU, IT'S HARD TO WATCH.

I'M GOING FOR THE NIGHT, I'LL KEEP RECORDING TO CHECK IN THE MORNING AND OF COURSE WILL BE LOOKING FOR NG BEFORE DAWN TOMORROW. GOOD NIGHT ALL.

Oh Reenie .. that was so hard to watch .. oh dear. . and I am sure that was equally difficult for you to record. She looks in serious distress at this point. whatever appeared to be stuck in her mouth/beak appears to be gone, but her head/chest region looks worse to me. I just pray she goes to ground and can be found and helped..

I am just sick at my heart and stomach for all of you.

Carly, I do think you have a good point about her staying away and laying low. . Unfortunately, that isn't gonna help searchers who are out looking for her.
Thank goodness for Lil' Dad. Not all males could step up and handle a situation like this. ..

I am just praying she will be found tomorrow ..

Good morning all. Feeding at 5:24 this morning. Must be Lil Dad. Praying NG comes home today.

Good morning Lorgayle and everyone. Definitely Lil Dad feeding; the boys are bigger than him! Can't believe how fast they are feathering out. I will be able to spend some time downtown this afternoon searching for New Girl, but praying for a miracle that she returns to the ledge on her own.

I THINK BREAKFAST WAS A BLUEJAY, FEATHERS AND A WING OUT FRONT. GOING TO LOOK FOR NG NOW, DIDN'T SEE HER OUT FRONT ANYWHERE :-(

I wish I was going to be reading NG came home before I headed out for my morning walk :egg15:

I'll say a prayer that she is seen in the next 3 hours during my walk. I'll be thinking of her while I'm scouring trees for birds & nests in my park. Maybe I'll be lucky & see the falcon that frequents it too. Come home NG. we are worried about you

WELL I CHECKED EVERYWHERE POSSIBLE AND I CAN'T FIND HER ANYWHERE. ONLY THING I DID FIND OUT IS THAT 55 DEGREES WITH WIND ON A GARAGE ROOF IS COLD! I CHECKED LEDGES ON THE BLDG, ROOFTOPS GALORE EVERY PLACE I COULD SEE WITH BINS, STILL NO NG :-(

Faith · **Posted:** Thu May 17, 2012 7:05 am

I feel your pain and anguish over trying to find her. Just so hard to accept.

Faith · **Posted:** Thu May 17, 2012 7:07 am

Can't see the Boy's right now, so they must be in the blind spot. Faithful Lil Dad watching. He makes me cry.

7:06 Lil Dad is on his stick, and No sign of N.G. Not sure what I am seeing on the ledge with all the debris there. Was looking for the boys, but can''t tell them from a pile of nestovers this morning.

Boys are behind the scrape, so they are close to LilDad.

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

NOT SURE THERE IS A BLIND SPOT ANYMORE, BUT I THINK THE CHICKS MAY BE BEHIND THE SCRAPE, THEY WERE EARLIER AND LIL DAD KEEPS LOOKING THAT WAY.

When I tuned in around 6:30 I could see the tip of a wing from behind the scrape.

Thanks to everybody, especially Reenie and Jane, everybody who can go look downtown, and everybody who is sending their prayers, hopes and thoughts. My prayers go up with yours.

I hope that NG went somewhere to heal. Nobody knows everything--and someone who thinks they know all about every falcon has not met NG. Still, I can't help feeling that sinking feeling that if NG could be here she would be.

I'm going now to light an online candle for NG, wherever in the universe she may be.

If only Lil Dad's every move could be followed. He might be able to lead us to her. I will be in a 2 hour meeting this morning. Hoping for good news when I check back in.

Faith · **Posted:** Thu May 17, 2012 7:25 am

Just saw a nice big wing stretch from behind the scrape. They are turning dark so fast now.

Time for a camera change of the scrape area????? :egg6:
