Lil Dad has been on the stick part of the ledge for well over half an hour. He just did a couple wing stretches, but he hasn't flown off yet.

Not sure how long he's been there, but Lil Dad is sitting on the point. His breast feathers are fluffing around in the breeze. Looks like he's had a good breakfast.

HAVEN'T SEEN LIL DAD YET, BUT NIECEY IS NOW ON THE STICK. SHE GOT THERE AROUND 1:15 I GUESS AND WAS MESSING AROUND WITH THE STONES BY THE STICK ON THE LEDGE. THEN WENT TO THE STICK. SHE LEFT AT 2:46 AND FLEW OVER TO HER FAVORITE SPOT ON THE UNIVERSITY.

Thanks for the video. They sure do hate intruders on their ledge. I bet it's cold up there with the wind blowing too.

IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE RATHER WARM UP THERE WITH THE SUN SHINING AND THAT STONE REALLY HOLDS IN THE HEAT :-)

NIECEY KNEW THEY WERE COMING OUT AND THEY FLEW BACK AND FORTH SOME, BUT WEREN'T KACKING OR ANYTHING. LIL DAD WAS SITTING ON TOP OF THE STEEPLE WATCHING THEM :-)

Just looked at the Tweet on DEP's main web page. There's something to click on that shows views all over the area. If you drag the picture around it rotates. You can see the steeple, the Chestnut Street garage roof, and even the top of 333 Market. :-)

Is there a new link for the camera? My bookmark and the link from the main Falcon page on DEP website isn't working. It just says waiting to go live or something like that.

I don't think everything is all wired up yet, Carol. Anxious to see the views from the new cams.

Decided to spin downtown this afternoon in hopes of a falcon fix. Was down there from around 3:30 until 4:15. Unfortunately the falcons were not around, but I got a look at the new stick. Looks like it's just a tad longer than the old one. Found a pigeon wing on Aberdeen under the nest ledge, and a partially eaten Crow near the corner of Market and Aberdeen. Didn't know the falcons ate Crows, but there certainly were a lot of them flying overhead. There must have been a hundred pigeons on the head of one of the big eagles at the State Street Bridge.

Maybe a crow decided to harass one of the falcons like they do to the hawks!
