I can't tell if there's something on the other side of the box. Definitely not on ledge.

They did discover "behind the box"...I think it was Saturday? Not sure..unless she has gotten wedged back there...

When I go full screen, I see nothing on other side of box.

And just to confirm, Spark delivered and Durand came in right behind him, correct? Then Spark left?

I am at work and I have been watching as much as I can but I have not seen Hoshi at all this morning and I am feeling quite sick about this - she's been a real dare devil out on that ledge so I hope...........

She really has been!! I could see an accidental fledge happening this morning. I caught her yesterday, late afternoon, just hanging on to the ledge with her "toes", flapping like crazy....I just hope wherever she is that she is ok...

Right, but she'd probably be yelling.

I know the cams are not synched (at least mine aren't), and I thought I heard 1 still screaming for food when 2 were on this side of box. Not much consolation, but a possibility.

And Blaze just went into box with Dart.

OK...I don't want to read too much into this, but Blaze and Hoshi usually hang out together..but the fact that Blaze just went into the box with Dart, tells me Hoshi is not there..

I remember when Zoom got lodged last year and he definitely made himself known!!!!!!

I know what you mean about the sound. I usually end up turning one of the audios off because they aren't together and it ends up sounding like an echo..

If Hoshi were to be wedged behind the box, it would be an easy check. That's where the door is.

Here comes rain.

Well, If Rosekk or any other watcher is downtown, or can look, it would be helpful for them to watch for parents to see if they are defending an area near her.

I'm going to think on the positive side. Hoshi is strong and has been on the ledge for days, living on the edge somewhat. If she did accidentally fledge, hopefully she had enough time to get flapping. If so, she could flap down to wherever she went.

When did Zoom fledge last year, what day? Wasn't she early too? I'll look back through archives.

Zoom fledged on day 40, so not really early if she was a "he", or maybe a small female.

I always thought Zoom was a male..

Ok.. I just have a small rant, just a small one..

Start Rant:

Why don't people who have these birds on their buildings care more? You'd think they would be so pleased that they've got a falcon family there and would be coordinating some kind of watch. Especially if they work in the darn building. Not like they've got to drive an hour to get there.

Maybe they are and we just don't know.

End rant.

As I recall (and that is not saying much) it was determined at banding that Zoom was a male and than later on there was some debate as to whether or not she could be female.

I'm sorry. I just feel so helpless, and upset. I'm sure like everyone else is feeling right now.

Hoshi is strong...and heaven knows she's been flapping like crazy and on the very edge of the ledge.

If she was indeed the first hatched (and I think she was) then today is Day 38...still fairly early for a female...but what if Hoshi were a large male? They didn't weigh them at banding...darn it..

Well, guess we hope for the best at this point..I'm just mad I didn't open the cam sooner to see her go...darn it...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..

Zoom was banded as a female...I never thought she was one just based on size, feathering, etc...
