She's been on the front wall for awhile and now is preening. All is quiet. I have not seen 85.

85 is by the column and she is talkative and in the nest.

He's been here awhile, but not going in the nest with her so far.

Eventually he flew and she went back to the nest wall. It is 3:11.

I don't seem to catch a lot of action. She's back on top of the front nest wall preening and has just started calling out. Not seeing 85. She has quite the bowl dug out in the nest. Soon she went down in the nest wailing and to the bad window to do the same and then down to the end of the ledge and to the point. She's calling at intervals, but I still do not see 85. Hoping he is continuing to tend to his juvies and that they are safe and well.

She's spending the night on top of the front wall of the nest just as she did last night.

When I was here this morning, I didn't see anyone around. Just saw her fly downward from near the point.

85 in the nest and she is on the point. They are talking to each other. After a long while, she came into the nest and they bowed and talked and beaked each other, then she grabbed his beak with hers and he then grabbed her beak with his. It was the 1st time I've seen actual physical contact with each other. Soon he left and went to the point while she remains in the nest.

They are still talking to each other at 5:57. Then she left and he remains on the point. He went down the ledge and eventually in the nest still talking. Next he went to the top of the front nest wall. Back to the nest at 6:07. Back to the wall at 6:08. He flew at 6:14.

Juvie with bands in nest box, Female on point looking at her!!

Female left and is swooping at juvie!

Juvie walked out of nest 5:05. On ledge, odd posture, may be injured, don't know.

The juvies back is to us and she acts as if tearing and pulling on prey. Eating? Maybe she was carrying something and that is why odd posture.

Cams out of sync, very hard to follow. Juvie in box, while someone on ledge, don't know if same bird or not.

Missed juvie in nest leave. Same bird on ledge with back to us, don't know if I messed up and this is original juvie that left nest and went to the ledge or if this is new female.

I can not see white chest on the one on the ledge eating, so I think it is original juvie and we may have had 2 juvies here.

Swooping in flybys by the female to the juvie on ledge who has moved near the nest.

Now down to near the orange post with the prey.

Okay, I'm back and lost track of what was going on as I have been having pc issues half a week now. Constantly getting Chrome not responding with freezes. Had to control, alt, delete and sign back in 4 times. Nobody home now. Even though the cams are not in sync, I do believe with the action I was seeing in all the above posts that began with the 5:00 pm one that there were 2 juvies at one time (just a short period for both being here) and the female was giving them heck. The one I was afraid was injured at 1st, just had prey they were trying to mantle and transport. Whoever this juvie was is very bold as it did not let the female deter them...it ate! Don't know of course what happened while I couldn't get back in. Perhaps someone with a working pc and with enough interest in this nest can try to follow. I'm out.

I caught the end of the conflict. Juvie was picking at scraps left on ledge. The adult female took a dive at it, and it looked like she knocked it off the ledge. Reviewing the video it looks like the juvie jumped back and fell off the ledge while avoiding an actual hitby the adult.

bev., The link I use is:

https://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/falcon/ ... up_v2.html

I'm not sure why you cannot see the site. Did you try a different browser? I use Opera, but I sometimes have to use a different browser to link to a particular site.

And if you have extensions (ad blockers, etc) running, try connecting with the extensions turned off.

Does it just never connect, or do you get an error message like "site not found"?

all my sites are in a mess right now and against better jsudgement, I have put up Hdtap on my computer and see I believe 85 over at building g across the way.
the female is on shield

canno t keep it up long as it messes with my computer cams at my sites, but will check back when I can

keep postive. sometimes at first glance, it seems worse than what it is. tha t is why replays are always good, in slow motion.

Back with my pc fixed (I hope) and found 85 in the nest digging out the 2 bowls already formed, then up to the front wall of the nest. Shortly he went back into the nest and started talking and she flew in to the ledge in front of the nest and soon joined him inside where they bowed and talked to each other for a bit, then 85 flew out. She remained in the nest to dig out the 2 bowls some more, then atop the front wall. Saw her very late last night atop the front wall of the nest as if she were spending the night and again this morning very early in the same spot preening. Thanks David for your video as it was very helpful in discerning what happened at the end of yesterday's incident.

I just read it. Too sad. I thought the attack we watched look a little more serious than Red falling or jumping off.
