These are just beautiful!!!!

We aren't sure where she is.  She hasn't been seen in awhile.  In my heart of hearts, I really think she is alive

And she is protective like her mama.  Such a legacy

How sad

I really have thought the first egg would not hatch so what would be the time frame for the second egg?

Hi Kathy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hope your birthday is filled with everything you love (and a few tootsie pops)!

Mariah is and always will be the BEST peregrine mama.  And this always makes me cry.   

Wow!  Thanks everyone for all the birthday greetings.  Another year gone by, where have they all gone.   

THANKS!

Hmmm, driving around looking at falcons, taking pictures of falcons, hanging with the falcon watchers!  Time flies when we are having fun!

Great job!!!

We're thinking of you, Nora!!!!

Happy birthday, Carol!!!!!!! I think the least these falcons could do - for all the watching-- is to hatch! C'mon Beauty, it's Aunt Carol's birthday!

He is just adorable!

so cool!

This reminds me of something that Mark Bezinque reported 9 days ago.

About 10 minutes ago I was meeting with someone in my office, telling him about the falcons. Just then one flies by the window, and the person I was meeting with said there were two. The two began to fight, engaging in a locked death spiral just to the south of Broad Street over the river. Beauty took off from the nest to join the fight.

Had to be one of the more spectacular sights I've seen out my window.

That's right!  There is so much going on...not just with our falcons, that it's hard to keep track!    I remember reading Mark's post.   Yesterday was not the first time...probably...for B and U to meet.

So I wonder if this means that it was really Beauty and Unity were in a battle and Archer joined or Archer and Unity were in a battle and Beauty joined.  

I'm wondering where they were-- is that floor the one that has kind of a walk around where people used to stand.  It looks like a kind of landing.  

It's the 18th floor.  The top couple of floors have balconies that can be used for emergency evacuations if needed.  Other than that they are rarely accessed.

Thanks, Jim and Carol, I have been correcting papers all week and couldn't think of the word "balcony."
