Well, I hope I do better for real than watching the cam. So far I've seen nothing from the cam that remotely resembles a falcon. And discovered a bit ago that the still shot is stuck on a night view, although it is kind of pretty.

I too hope you see them Jane. It is cold today. Hard to keep the hands warm.

Good luck--I hope you see somebody at this point! And thanks for mentioning about the cam being stuck--for some reason, I always think it's just me.

Thank you for all the updates and videos. I so much hope that Lil Dad is there.

From here, the still cam is down, again, and the live stream does not work at all. This new system has a lot of potential, but from a couple of thousand miles away, so far it has been very disappointing.

Met Sue downtown around 2:00 this afternoon. We saw no falcons despite looking all over the place, so we walked down to the Susquehanna, as it was actually nice and warm. Before walking across the Walnut Street Bridge, what do we see but several Bluebirds, which you'd never expect to find in a city. They were feasting on berries on some nearby holly bushes. Sue and I returned to the Carson Building and parked ourselves on a bench there, and were busy looking at each other's pictures. Then I spied a Sharp-shinned Hawk sitting on the roof of the church across the street, so of course we watched it and took some pictures. Neither of us saw her come in, but around 4:00 Niecey arrived on the corner of 333. Other than one little flight that both Sue and I missed seeing, she stayed there until almost 5:20. When she left, she took off in the direction of the Whitaker Center, but I don't know the exact place where she went. Niecey was the only falcon we saw. All of this is VERY puzzling.

I'M SO DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYONE BUT NIECEY, BUT GLAD YOU SAW HER AT LEAST. I WAS AFRAID AFTER ALL THE ACTION WE GOT THERE TODAY THAT BY THE TIME YOU GOT DOWN THERE, YOU WOULDN'T SEE ONE FALCON. SOUNDS LIKE YOU BOTH HAD A GOOD TIME THOUGH :-)

Thank you Jane and Sue for going downtown to look. Wish that you could have seen the male to confirm one way or the other. I'm glad that at least Niecey showed up for you guys.

I thought the falcon in SGB's video was Niecey. I was watching at the time and she scraped a good bit also.
Well if I'm not even sure if it's male or female, then I definitely couldn't tell if it's NB or Lil' Dad. Lil' Dad seems more bold to me, but to be honest, I didn't really watch him that much with Niecey before the cams went down last year as I was still too sad about NG and then the boys not coming back to the ledge. Maybe he is more timid with Niecey.

Don't think I saw MA's video before, but after just watching it, I think that was Niecey. I am SO confused.

I AGREE THAT IT WAS NIECEY IN MA'S VIDEO. I THINK MY COMMENT WAS ABOUT A VIDEO I WAS POSTING OR JUST GOT DONE WATCHING. IT WAS SO HARD KEEPING UP WITH THEM TODAY AND POSTING AND UPLOADING THE VIDEOS.

Thanks for posting my pics, Reenie. Wish I knew how to do that on here. I never realized how worn down that corner of 333 is from falcons sitting there until I enlarged these on my computer.

Oh wow, those pictures are great. I wonder, can the falcons perch on top of those new cameras too? What a beautiful little hawk. thanks.

I was confused as well. .I thought it was Niecey in my vid (even put her name in the video description)..but, then talked myself out of it because I just wasn't sure. she has quite the range of vocalizations (which is what threw me off)...low, then higher pitched squeaks.

Great pics, Jane...hope you and Sue had fun!!! thanks for going down to take a look..and Reenie, I do hope you're feeling better.

Thanks for all the posts . I just got caught up . Jane and Sue sounds like you had a pleasant time too even though you didn't see what you wanted to.It is a confusing time. Like Reenie said maybe all the activity is in the morning right now. Jane, they are great pictures. Your zooming brought her so close. Thanks for posting the pictures for all to see Reenie. Now to see what today brings.

PRETTY SURE THAT'S NIECEY THAT JUST LANDED ON THE LEDGE AND THEN WENT TO THE STICK. THEY STAYED FOR ABOUT 10 MINS AND THEN FLEW OFF DOWN 4TH STREET TOWARDS THE CAPITAL.

WOW! WHAT WAS ALL OF THAT? SURE WISH I WAS DOWNTOWN A COUPLE OF MINS AGO. I HEARD SOMETHING AROUND 1:32 AND THEN AT 2:15 AND THEN HEARD BOTH. JUMPED UP TO WATCH AND ONE WAS SITTING IN THE SCRAPE WHILE THE OTHER WAS TALKING UP A STORM PRANCING AROUND ON THE LEDGE. BIG DISCUSSION AND THEN THE ONE WAS DOWN BY THE COLUMN FOR A BIT BEFORE FLYING OFF. THE OTHER, I GUESS NIECEY WHO WAS IN THE SCRAPE CAME OUT SOME BEFORE FLYING OFF, BUT NOW RETURNED AGAIN TALKING UP A STORM LOOKING OUT AND AROUND. THE VIDEO I HAVE WITH ALL THIS IS 2 HOURS LONG, SO WILL TAKE A WHILE TO PROCESS IT.
