I understand that Green flew over to the Nemours Building earlier this morning, followed by Yellow. That building is right next to the nest building. Green then missed a landing on the nest building and is now back over on the Wilmington Trust Building. Glad Green is testing her wings. :-)

I seem to be the one who posts from facebook - and I HATE fb! O well. *sigh*
I have not seen a complete report posted in fb or the Wilmington blogspot.
I am delighted these 4 have fledged well. ` :loveshow:

May 27 late aft - evening - fb blogs

Yellow and Green are hanging out on WT and Red and Blue are on Brandywine Bldg.

Red is flying all over the place and even doing some dives!
He found some leftover prey and after killing it a few times, flew off with it!

Green just flew again! She tried landing in BB but slid down wall a little, recovered and flew back to WT!
(Just as our Jane reported)

Trinity flew in with prey and two kids hot on his trail!
Green was already on the roof of WT where Trinity and the kids landed! Never fails!!!

And now she's on roof of Nemours! A little higher which is great!
Although Arlene said her landing wasn't so great but she'll get there!
(That is the part I was curious about. bcaw posted this too)

I love these updates. It helps me visualize what is occurring.

Edit: No fledge there yet. One around the column.

Yes, those were really fantastic pictures of Red Girl and of the two boys. Thanks so much for posting them, Reenie.

And in other news from the Wilmington Falcons Facebook page, it sounds as if all the kids are doing great. That's so great to hear!

Not a fledge in Harrisburg yet. One is out of view on the other side of the column.

From the sounds of Kim's latest post on Facebook, I just missed catching Trinity and Red Girl in the nest box doing a lot of ee-chupping 10 minutes ago.

I THINK TRINITY IS CURRENTLY IN THE NESTBOX! IMAGINE MY LUCK :egg19:

Jane · **Posted:** Wed May 28, 2014 2:11 pm

Gee, I haven't looked at the cam in a couple days. Nothing in there now but a lot of feathers. I would say Trinity and Red Girl deserve a few moments to themselves. :-)

They are telling each other " Good Job" !! LOL! Notice a deep depression where the eggs were laid. Didn't see that before, since they were running around in there.

Anyone have a snip of Trinity and Red Girl shaking wings over their successful young?

4.30 pm facebook posts ........

Glad to hear all is well after last night's storm.

The kids are having so much fun! This is my favorite part of watching the falcons! Call in sick for work tomorrow and come see for yourself!

Green finally flew! Dave just found her on the back of the Brandywine Bldg and on the roof so she finally got some lift! Go Green!

What excitement in the city!!! Trinity just brought prey and the boys and Red Girl were all flying around with several food drops attempted!

Red is all the way over on tippy top of 1201 Bldg! Probably the highest point in the city

Yellow and Red are having a great time chasing each other!!!
Green and Blue now beaking!!

Trinity and Red Girl are both in the nest box and there's a lot of ee chupping going on! Sure would love to know what's being said!

Red and Yellow were just chasing each other. They're both flying really well! Red is all the way over on WSFS now. Green is napping. Sigh

Man they must of had some major words for each other! They are chasing each other all over! Lol!

Lots of action in Wilmington already this morning! Kids screaming and chasing adults all over!

Green still on corner of Nemours roof and someone just landed next to her. I'm guessing it's her buddy Yellow!

May 29 pre-dawn facebook posts

Fledge watch officially ends after tomorrow but I'm guessing I'll still be there every day until Sunday!
Latest report from Dave and Maureen! This is VERY exciting news about Green since she has only had short flights so far!
- "You got your wish! she flew to the top of the food cache bldg TWICE! Then to wilm trust along with both parents and then to BB on box ledge with boys - it was great!"

Maureen says that Green has flown from BB to Nemours and back to top of BB! Short flights but she has to get some lift to get to top of BB

I wish I'd been there this morning to see this . . .
