I can tell it is not a juvie who has probably gone long ago - is this NG who is not on the nest box? I don't understand what all the fuss is about!

One on the Cam and one on the Shield. Both with wings out.

I shall be in Reading tomorrow afternoon and was wondering if anyone knows the address of the scrape where yellow boy and his mate reside? I would not mind making a detour to see if he's around before i go see the reading phillies.

George, the building where Yellow Boy and his mate nest is something like the Callowhill Building. Not sure if that's spelled right. I think it's on the corner of 5th and Penn Streets at the main square in Reading. There's some big Sovereign Bank Building right across the street. And I might add that I got email from a friend in Texas this afternoon, wondering if LO was on the ledge. I wasn't watching then, so don't know. Last time I saw him for real was July 9, but I think there were reports of him being heard since then.

Ah then i shall be driving right by there on my way to the stadium for the reading phillies. About 3 years ago when i went out to the reading airport for the d day weekend airshow i recall seeing him perched across the street from the sovereign bank arena i think it was called. If time permits , and my friend is ok with a short stopover, i may see if i can find him.

I am having trouble identifying NG and Lil Dad now so i cant say if LO has stopped back home or not. I can only discern NG by the length of her tail compared to Lil Dads

Am not sure who is vocalizing since the falcon on the camera perch is sort of motionless but somebody is calling out at 6PM

like the proverbial son home from college, it sounds like he may be trying to hit up the bank of lil dad for a free meal. :smile: Now if only he'd appear on camera for the falcon media.....Still NG doesnt seem to be that interested in his calls

GOT IT ALL ON VIDEO, DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO UPLOAD. WILL POST WHEN IT'S DONE, THE VIDEO IS ABOUT 4 HOURS AND 40 MINS LONG. JUST HEARD LIL ONE FLY BY AS I POST THIS.

HERE ARE THE TIMES IN THE VIDEO OF LIL ONE, NOT TIMES OF WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE.

3:08:23 LANDS ON THE LEDGE BY THE SCRAPE AND THEN TAKES OFF I GUESS AFTER THE PARENT THAT LEFT FROM THE CAM.

3:10:18 LIL ONE RUNS UP TO NG AT ONE POINT AND THEN HE FLIES OFF. NG WAS HAVING A FIT AND LIL ONE KEPT FLYING OVER HER. BOTH END UP LEAVING THEN.

3:15:36 NG LANDS ON THE CAM PERCH AND IS KINDA ALARM CALLING AND LIL ONE APPEARS ON THE END OF THE LEDGE. NG ISN'T LIKING HIM THERE! SHE DOESN'T SIT DOWN ON THE CAM. SHE ACTS LIKE SHE'S SCARED OF THE LIL ONE OR SOMETHING. LIL ONE STANDS THERE SCREAMING AT HER GOES DOWN TO THE SCRAPE AND CHECKS IT ALL OUT. PLAYS WITH THE MIC SOME AND THEN RUNS BACK DOWN THE LEDGE SCREAMING AT NG ON THE CAM. AT ONE POINT, I DO BELIEVE LIL ONE FLIES UP TO THE CAM TRYING TO GET NG.

3:25:21 LIL ONE TAKES OFF, FLIES IN FRONT OF THE BLDG AND LANDS BY THE COLUMN, SITS THERE FOR A WHILE AND THEN COMES TO THE STICK TO SIT. HE ALSO SITS ON THE SHIELD SOME. HE THEN FLEW DOWN THE LEDGE WITHOUT SCREAMING. BOY THERE ARE SOME GOOD FLIGHT SHOTS IN THIS VIDEO!

3:36:46, LIL DAD APPEARS BY THE SCRAPE, AFTER SITTING THERE FOR A BIT, HE GOES IN THE SCRAPE AND CHIRPS, SO I KNOW IT WAS LIL DAD. THEN LIL DAD IS SITTING ON THE VERY BACK OF THE SHIELD WHEN THE VIDEO ENDS. I HAVE ANOTHER VIDEO ROLLING, HAVE TO SEE WHAT'S ON THAT ONE.

I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE WITH FOOD LIKE ROSEKK POSTED, MAYBE I WENT TOO FAR INTO THE VIDEO, HAVE TO CHECK IT AGAIN LATER.

Despite the heat, have not ruled out going downtown to see if I can get another look at LO. And George, that Sovereign building or whatever would be behind you when you look at that Callowhill (or whatever) Building across the street. Somewhere I have a paper with the exact name of that building written down, but can't find it. The nest building is NOT the Madison, I know that. The nest building is red brick, and has these fancy concrete balls up at the nest ledge, and some rather ornate decorations also. Plus there are some fake owls up there. When a friend and I were in Reading a couple years ago, Yellow Boy was sitting on one of the fake owl's heads!

ah when i saw the falcon by the soveign bank arena, he was perched atop a red brick building across from the entrance. Had i then had my super long lens and were able to stop , had i known who we were, id have snapped some images. Of course tomorrow i am not sure what mood ill be in given the heat but ya never know, i may see if anyone is home at the inn

Thanks for the info on the LO sighting. I heard him too, but didn't see maybe 30 minutes ago now. Can't wait to see the video. I guess NG is a little confused by it all maybe. Well they do make a visit back home sometimes looking for a handout.

That's great that he's back! I wonder if its a matter of he went out on his own to do some exploring & decided he likes the world outside of Harrisburg, so he came home to say goodbye to mommy & daddy!

Going downtown crossed my mind, too, Jane, but I just got home from work & PT 1/2 hour ago & still have to eat & go with hubby to take his truck to the garage, so downtown is out for me.

Looking forward to your video, Reenie!

Someone just flew straight in and landeed on the ledge. Is that Lil' Dad? I heard what I thought was LO too. And saw somebody else flying on the TT side.

Yes, the one on the ledge is Lil Dad, but I first heard LO fly by, then it sounded like he was stationary briefly, then he flew off again. Maybe he was on the balcony above the nest ledge.

Bless his heart, I hope that he has not been having a hard time of it. Well at least we know that he's still alive and he has been out on his own for a bit. That's a good sign.
