Awesome shot of Red and Lil Dad on the steeple, Reenie! So hard to tell who's who on the cam anymore. One was on the point and one on the shield - til this is all done uploading to PB then here, who knows where?

I love that picture of Lil Dad and Red Girl both on the steeple! I was watching the two on the ledge from Sue's posted pictures, but I couldn't see any colors on the bands to know which was which. The one on the point was showing their leg well enough, but the picture just wasn't clear enough, or the light wasn't enough to show the color.

One flew off and the other was settled in for a nap closer to the orange pole but is now up again and looking around.

I think it was Red Girl on the point, then napping and now yelling. The red isn't visible on the right leg band in the picture, but I think it only covers a portion of the band. However the tape used to fasten the red to the band makes the band look wider and sort of irregularly shaped. And the other looked significantly smaller when they were beaking at the orange post (but I didn't get a grab of that), so I think the one on the shield is Green. But the angle of view seems to make their size deceptive.

In any case, Red is one mighty big girl! And after watching her utter determination to survive carry her through last week all the way to home, I know she is also one STRONG girl!

THAT IS RED ON THE LEDGE SNOOZING AND BLUE WAS THERE EARLIER AND SHE FLEW OFF AROUND THE BLDG AND OVER ON OUR ROOF ON THE 4TH ST SIDE. NIECEY WAS ON THE STEEPLE, BUT FLEW OVER TO THE WIRES BY THE CAM, THAT'S WHAT RED WAS SCREAMING ABOUT. AS FAR AS GREEN BOY, HE'S BEEN ON THE 11TH FLOOR I BELIEVE SINCE LAST NIGHT, OR AT LEAST 5:30 THIS MORNING. WE SAW HIM DO A POOP SHOT AND NOTHING CAME OUT :-( I SURE HOPE HE'S OK. JANE WAS WATCHING HIM FOR A WHILE, BUT NOBODY OUT THERE WATCHING NOW AND I HAVE TO WORK..............

Great picture. Wish the weather had been better. So overcast this morning. Now very humid.

I'm glad for Red Girl's strength and determination. I'm sure that's what saved her when she was without food for three days. I also think that's why she was waiting to fledge. Maybe they can tell when they have the strength to go and when they need to wait a bit longer. Since she IS so big, she just needed more wing strength.

I am back from downtown, and if it doesn't storm am likely to go back. It concerns me about Green, but I cannot possibly sit down there until I do a little catch up here at home. I was lucky enough to see Red on the steeple when I got down there, and even luckier when Lil Dad came over there above her. I could have gotten a good picture, as I was on the garage roof, and 100% certain that was Red. I hated to leave when I did. Green had pancaked on the 11th floor ledge right before my bus came. It is VERY humid here today, and about 80 degrees.

Whichever of those girls was there by the stick took off a moment ago and headed toward the U, but the cam changed right when she flew. :-(

Well, I couldn't tell which way she went when the cam changed right as she took off. Don't know about downtown, but it's raining at my place. Forgot to post that when my bus was on Walnut Street I could see one of the adults on the top of 333.

I think there may have been a food drop a bit ago, as I heard screaming and saw an adult there for a moment. One of the girls is kind of in front of the scrape, and there is another one behind it and appears to be eating. Can't see that one well enough to tell the gender.

Those two girls on the ledge have been running around some, but also sitting there with drooped wings due to the humidity. I am going to head downtown in a few minutes, and unfortunately will be alone. I do not intend to stay until it is dark.

I've been watching also as the girls have danced around the ledge, back and forth. They remind me of kittens clumsily hop/skipping and then pouncing on "something." Pics coming.

A parent landed near the column just now, was chased off, landed on the point, was chased off again, circled around and landed back at the scrape and seemed to grab a stash from back of the scrape and flew off with it.

Look at how polite they are being watching from the point.

Now out from behind the scrape, this looks like Niecey, and they probably know not to mess with her!

Niecey got a good meal for herself, finally, from this catch. One girl can't stand it any longer and charges down the ledge. Parent leaves and the girl is eating.
