Sure hope this fog lifts. Right now it's so foggy at my place I can barely see across the street. Don't think I'd be able to see the nest ledge from the street at this point.

Reenie, as for night vision being disturbing to niecey an lil dad, that is a crock and alot of horse hockey to quote good ole colonel potter. They use nigh vision on all sorts of nesting birds incluing bald eagles, owls,etc etc. i suspect that our commonwealth is just continuing thier habbit of beeing cheepskates

TWO THINGS, THERE WON'T BE ANY NIGHT VISION AND LIL DAD IS NOT BACK AS FAR AS WE KNOW. BELIEVE ME, WE WILL KNOW WHEN LIL DAD IS SEEN AGAIN :-) TUES, NOV 27TH IS WHEN I SAW NO BAND ON THE LEDGE. THEN WED THE 28TH, THEY TOOK THE CAMS OFFLINE TO PUT UP THE NEW ONES. BOTH WED AND THURS, I'M TOLD THERE WERE TWO FALCONS SITTING ON THE LEDGE RIGHT BEFORE THEY WENT OUT ON THE LEDGE, BUT THEY DIDN'T TRY TO ID THEM. FRIDAY I WAS OFF WORK, BUT DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING FROM ANYONE, SO I'M SURE NOBODY SAW LIL DAD YET.

Thank, Reenie, for the clarification. I misunderstood that Jane thought a recent pic looked like Lil Dad. :redface

Back from my adventure downtown. Got down there around 1:30, and immediately saw a falcon on the point. Thought it was Niecey, until I spotted a second falcon sitting on the back corner of 333. Went up on the Chestnut Street garage roof to get as close to the 333 bird as possible, and ended up thinking THAT was Niecey. It is SO hard to tell when they're that high above you. Went back to my car to get my cell, and the 333 bird took off around the corner of Market and 4th towards the river. By the time I got my cell, less than 30 seconds later, the point bird was gone, and have no idea where it went. Crimes, you can't turn your head or you'll miss something. I am about 99 3/4% certain that neither of these birds were Little Dad. I hung around about half an hour after both birds departed, but they didn't return while I was there, so I left. Saw the new cams in place. Am anxious to see what they can do. There's plenty of room for a falcon to sit on two of the three of them.

Thanks Reenie for the report from this last week and Jane thanks for going down there and checking on them. Your right about Ident. them that far away. You at least saw two. Now to see when the "new Cams get turned on"! Good to know that the work they did, made no difference to the Falcon's as we know it.

WELL WE'VE HAD TWO FALCONS ON 333 THIS MORNING FOR A WHILE NOW. I'M PRETTY SURE NIECEY IS ON THE FRONT CORNER OF MARKET AND 4TH ST AND THE OTHER FALCON ON THE BACK CORNER OF 4TH ST. I'D SAY THAT ONE IS NO BAND. LOOKS TOO LARGE FOR LIL DAD. HE TOOK OFF ONCE TO GO AFTER SOMETHING, BUT MISSED AND CAME BACK TO THAT SAME CORNER. TURNS OUT I HAVE NO BIG BINS WITH ME TODAY, JUST A SMALL PAIR I BROUGHT TO TAKE ON MY WALKS. SURE WOULD LOVE A SCOPE ABOUT NOW. TRIED TO TALK A GUY ON THAT SIDE OF THE BLDG TO SETTING UP A SCOPE IN HIS OFFICE, BUT HE DIDN'T LIKE THAT IDEA TOO WELL, LOL!

No Cams yet, but it will be soon I'm sure. Bugs have to be worked out I guess. Thanks Reenie for your eyes on today.

RIGHT NOW, I'M ONLY SEEING ONE FALCON ON THE BACK CORNER OF 333, 4TH ST SIDE. DOESN'T LOOK BIG ENOUGH FOR NIECEY, SO NOT SURE WHO IT IS :-( MAYBE WHEN IT GETS LIGHTER I CAN SEE IT BETTER :-)

WELL I'M NOT HAVING ANY LUCK AT ALL! THAT FALCON THAT WAS ON THE BACK CORNER OF 333 DISAPPEARED. WENT OUT, FOUND IT ON THE STICK, TRIED TO GO UP AND SEE WHO IT WAS, EVERYTHING LOCKED DOWN, CAN'T GET IN TO SEE :-( GRABBED BINS AND WENT BACK OUTSIDE AND THEY WERE GONE :-( BOY, I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THESE CAMERAS ARE UP AND RUNNING! NOT THAT IT WILL TOTALLY HELP.........

REALLY FRUSTRATED HERE! THIS FALCON IS GOING BACK AND FORTH FROM THAT CORNER OF 333 TO THE STICK. FOG HAS GOTTEN EVEN WORSE, CAN'T EVEN SEE THE TOP OF 333 NOW :-( GUESS I NEED TO GIVE UP FOR NOW :-(

THERE IS A FALCON ON THE BACK CORNER OF 333, I THINK IT'S NIECEY, BUT CAN'T BE TOTALLY SURE FROM WHERE I WAS.
