This is what is happening in Indy now. Hopefully the K's will not be too upset by all the goings on. A couple of years ago new AC units were installed on the top of "their" building during nesting season and Kenny was not very happy about that! Kathy never left the nest.

Beginning tomorrow (9/20), the Soldiers and Sailors Monument will be undergoing some renovation work. A large crane is going to be put in place on Sunday and the work is supposed to last about a month. The inner lane of the Circle will be closed to traffic and I imagine the whole Monument will be barricaded so pedestrians can't walk up the steps and around.

They are fixing up the observatory platform and deck inside and probably some other stuff too - but I have read where the observatory is their main focus as the windows leak and you can't see out of them very well. We should be able to see some of the happenings from the overhead camera. It will be interesting to see how often the falcons will visit and watch the goings-on for one of their favorite hangouts - the top of the Monument.

Thanks for letting us know what is going on, Sara! I guess this is a good time to do the monument restoration.

Yeah, I don't like heights either, SGB, but at least these guys have harnesses on...

This was posted on the IndyStar blog. Looks like we will be getting a new glass. Would be great if it had poo proof glass or some kind of none stick surface.

"John Castrale is planning on replacing the pea gravel in the nest box and the plexiglass protecting the camera sometime this month. So you may see some unexpected action in the box. This is a good time to do maintenance as the birds are not very aggressive at this time of year and tend to just patiently watch the goings-on. And no, I don't believe there is a poo-proof plexiglass (I'm sure someone will google and find that there is some and make a liar out of me) but at least the viewing ought to be a bit clearer with no scratches to obscure our sight."
