Thank you...thank you.....thank you! Beautiful pics. Looks like she made it back to where the box is located....whew. She is a pretty girl for sure.

Anyone else watching a few minutes ago around 8:34 EDT? I thought she went over the ledge. Could have been an adult. But I did hear her so maybe she is just down one floor or got to the NW corner terrace.

I cannot beleive all i have been missing

Hopefully I'll get down later today. If I go now I won't see anything in the rain and fog. There is a great view from the parking garage seventh floor across the way and a couple of blocks to the north if security lets me stay there.

According to chat, approx. 1:37pm, Noisy Nellie ate a foot that was banded with a red band... rewound and had a look, couldn't read it (pigeon or some kind of song bird?).

2:25pm, she's still on the ledge on the left, frequently hiding... (and loud!)

Jersey City

Bonbon...hope she coughs up that band in a pellet. Yikes!

Anyway, here's our girl. 40 days old today. She seems partial to this particular ledge. If you follow the ledge at the bottom of the pic to the right, it leads to the nest box. I've been watching her for the past hour and she is fascinated by small private airplanes that fly overhead...tracking them with a look of curiosity. It is now 6:15 pm and she is still in the same spot.

5:15 pm

I think she is tracking or scanning for one of the adults. They are not feeding her as much, so she is starving, LOL. Not really. They are getting her ready to fly. That side of the building has the most shade and the wind is from the NW, so it is cooler there.

I stayed awake long enough to get a few photos onto my website.

JC No sights or sounds of the eyas on 101 Hudson. I walked all the way around the building and checked nearby buildings as best I could. Adults were on the building, one on south side near west corner at the 37th floor. Another adult was on Athena's post on the north side middle of the 38th floor on the east pipe.

There is new construction on the south side of 101 Hudson. If she got into that it could be problematic. The wind was WSW at 8 mph yesterday, so I would think she would be blown to the northwest if she stayed on the west side of the building. Unfortunately, that is the side that has caused the most agony for young falcons. They go into the windows of the 10 story building across Greene St.

Thanks Bonnie for the reports. I appreciate you making the trip down there to check on her. I hope she's OK. At 42 days old today, she should have been ready to go.

She was definitely wanting to go yesterday. And she looked quite strong for only a couple of days out of the scrape. But it was far too quiet during the hour and a half I was there this morning.

Bonnie, she is screaming her little head off on cam right now, but she is out of view.

She is still screaming and I am seeing lots of feathers flying about. A parent may be prepping prey for her lunch. She can't be too far away from the nest.

JC You all don't know how relieved I am that you heard her. Guess I'm sticking to my Monday plan. We should know later if she fledged yesterday or today. Both adults were quite calm this morning. Maybe they were glad she had worn herself out somehow.
