LIL DAD AND NIECEY JUST CAME IN. LIL DAD WENT RIGHT IN THE SCRAPE, NIECEY LANDED ON THE LEDGE NEXT TO THE SCRAPE.

NICE PICTURE LJAMES!

NOW THEY ARE BOTH IN THE SCRAPE.

It's so funny how she goes behind the scrape then jumps onto the shield then down into the scrape. The picture is just after she landed.

Great comparison pictures, Susan. It is such a lovely day, I just might have to swing downtown after dinner tonight for a falcon fix. :-D

Thanks for the comparison shots! Mom does look a little larger but not much. Still both are very "full figured"

Thanks for the comparison shots, Susan! You are great about taking a subject people are confused about & researching it until you get an answer! :thanku

Wonderful capture of Lil Dad with his wings spread, ljames! :egg5:

I agree. It was an unusual way to see Lil Dad. :egg17:

Back from my falcon fix. Parked along Aberdeen around 7:45. Saw a falcon flying in from the direction of the Amtrak station. I assume it was Niecey, as I saw her looking out from the ledge about halfway between the stick and the orange post. Lil Dad was on the steeple. Went up to the Chestnut Street garage roof to eyeball Lil Dad, and he was eyeballing me as well as Niecey over on the ledge. Around 8:10 Lil Dad took off down Aberdeen, but returned to the steeple in less than a minute. Niecey trotted down to the point when Lil Dad fly by there. Around 8:30, Lil Dad fly off, and after coming down to the street I found him over on the far corner of the U Building roof. Went in the station to use the potty, and when I came back out Lil Dad was on the glass enclosure above the nest ledge. Niecey was still on the point. Around 8:50 some people getting off a train asked me how to get to Hershey. Told them they'd probably have to take a taxi at that hour. While I was talking to them, Lil Dad took off over the station, but couldn't see where he went, as the roof was in the way. Niecey was still on the point when I left. Of course I had hoped I might see the boys, but didn't really expect that would happen. Hope those people got to Hershey without breaking the bank.

THANKS FOR YOUR REPORT JANE, I TOO WISH YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THE BOYS! I THINK WHEN NIECEY WAS BETWEEN THE STICK AND ORANGE POLE IS WHEN SHE SOUNDED LIKE A JUVIE AND I RAN TO MY COMPUTER TO SEE A JUVIE AND IT WAS HER. THERE'S KINDA A BLIND SPOT THERE, BUT I COULD SEE HER HEAD IN ONE OF THE VIEWS. LIL DAD SURE DOES GET AROUND, LOL! I THINK THOSE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE DONE BETTER GETTING OFF THE TRAIN IN MIDDLETOWN OR E-TOWN TO GET TO HERSHEY, IF THAT'S HOW THEY ARRIVED AT THE TRAIN STATION.

This is a comparison of Mom's and Niecey's size. I tried to get the building sizes as close as possible so that the bird sizes would be truly comparable.

Mom (8/29/09).......Mom (7/26/09).......Niecey (6/15/12).......Lil Dad (8/24/09)

SusanE, given the possibility of a very slight difference in the angle of perch, it looks like Mom and Niecey are very close to the same length

Nice, long bonding session in your video, Coriena. Thanks. Did everyone see Lil Dad come off the corner of the U. Bldg at the 5:10 mark?

9:03 It appears Niecey is on the cam at the point end this morning. No sign of anyone else at this time.

Niecey has moved into the scrape and out the back door and moves/waddles toward the stick then departs back to the camera perch as of 1025am

5:16 Lil Dad on point looking handsome, Niecey in the scrape laying down. Just checking in to see if anything is new. Just got back from a motorcycle ride to Johnsontown and yesterday they had a ride over to see where Flight 93 came down. What an awesome thing to see. The memorial is not complete yet, but what they have right now is nice to see. Great shot of Lil Dad Terka.

5:22 Niecey now sitting on the scrape. Lil Dad looks like he's going to take a nap.
