Just posted on Du Bois FB page!!

Great news from Reeve Gutsell! "I FOUND BIG SISTER!! Hooray! She is on the roof of the hotel, on the ledge in the northeast corner next to some big, gray pipes. I know it is her because both parents were there as well, and all 3 flapped their wings simultaneously. It was quite terrific. She seems to be fine, as far as I can tell without binoculars, and obviously the parents are on top of the situation. They were flying back and forth between the hotel and the library (which are not really very far apart, for those of you not on campus), and one of the parents was hunting. So now we can all sleep better tonight. I tried to take some pictures but the little camera phone I happened to have with me wasn't up to the task. If anyone has a better one, I don't think she's actually going anywhere any time soon.

Du Bois~The female is home...I don't know how she got there...LOL

how old are they. maybe she can fly if they are not far apart or maybe she came to ground. Hope we hear.

43 days is good for female to fly. and if she is oldest , sh e is 43 days old. mystery.

thanks SGb

They have finally pulled the cam back off the box...and then did a quick pan...Looks like we may have missed both of them leaving..unless they are on the far ledge that is blocked by the box...bummer...
