Good news, bad news.

Our fourth bird, Girl, yes, girl, fledged today between 9 and 11:30 am.  I called the building at 1 and she could not be found in the scrape.  She was there up until 8:45 am when Dennis and Francois left.  Then my other friend who was watching the cam saw her take w very big wing flap and she was gone.  She was banded much later than the others.

There has been no signal from Hope after she fledged.  Dennis and Francois reported that she did make it over the FDR and the adults were circling behind the heliport, but chances are she went into the river.  We are holding out hope for Hope that she made it up to one of the buildings and has just been under an eave or overhang.

Oh, it doesn't sound good about Hope with no signal coming in, does it?  Sad

I am sad about hope at this time. There is a slim chance she made it, but given she is a she with a couple extra ounces and the report from the street ...

I have no news about Hope.  All I know is the transmitter stopped working around the day she fledged.  My friends saw her fly over the FDR toward the heliport which is on the east river.  They never saw her after that.  And the few times I went down I couldn't stay long because of various celebrations and no parking.  I only saw one, possibly two heads on One NY Plaza and our little girl was still in the scrape that time.

Saw an adult on Two New York Plaza.



I thought I heard kakking.  Saw pigeons really disturbed around Peregrine Square (Bowling Green Park) four blocks to the west of Water St and right by Battery Park.  At first I thought they were three of the fledglings.  I get excited.
