It must been about noon. After the picture I took of the four of them, I went back and couldn't find the fourth one. Of course, he/she could have been around the column.

Thanks for posting update about yellow. I don't do facebook and was away all day yesterday. Hope they all stay safe. Will be gone for a while today so I'll check back when I get home.

i just got an wire, saying yellow has been recused from the ground and will be returned to the roof shorlty.

he could not get enough height, from where he was, to make it back to ledge. that is where he attempted to go. it said he started off great but landed lower

5/29/2018 :: First flight!
This year's young falcons seem to have a thing about holidays. Hatched on Earth Day, one of the two males, "Yellow" fledged at 11:30am on Memorial Day. At first, this fledgling did well but eventually did end up on a roof near the Chestnut Street Garage. At approximately 9:00am, "Yellow" attempted to return to the 15th floor ledge. Unable to gain sufficient altitude, it ended up on Market Street where volunteers and the Environmental Education staff were able to successfully perform a rescue. "Yellow" was released on the roof and should be rejoining its mates shortly.

The other male, "White" could fledge any time today. The females, being heavier, tend to fledge later yet with both hanging near the ledge, they could be going soon as well. Over the course of the next few days updates as the fledging process continues will be provided.

Thanks Bev.

Reenie posted on her FB page about an hour ago that Yellow came to ground and she got to rescue him (2 great pics that I hope she will post here). No injuries and he was put back up on the roof!!

Sorry I couldn't post anything last night. A group of us saw Yellow fledge yesterday morning to the roof of the U Building around 11:30.. It was a great first flight. Afterwards he did some short flights and wound up at the entrance to the Carson Building. He eventually flew off and wound up at a low spot on the front of 333 Market. He flew off of that spot to a series of lower rooftops. I was not involved with his rescue, but was glad others were right there to help him. I'll be heading back down later this afternoon. Check the DEP website for more info and pictures.

Very warm here right now since the sun is out. The other three are up by the point in the shade. At least they are smart enough to find the shade.

I don't do face book but if you go to the page and hit face book it will put the pictures up and click on each one and it makes the picture larger.
