I don't see how it could be anybody else. Question-how is her name spelled officially? Billy is a male spelling and Billie is the female spelling. Anybody know? 

The reason I commented is because I spoke to someone at CT who clarified the names for me. All were people who had worked at the Terminal.  I asked if Billy was a male or female employee because of the spelling. I was told it was a female employee.  I was also told that Edward was not shortened because that's how the man was referred to.

Today it is more common to use an i or ie instead of a y, but back then names such as Patty, Jenny, Betty, Billy, Vicky, Cathy, etc. were standard.

Keeping watch...

I finally took some time to go through my pics of the falcon on Seneca Towers Apartment Building south end Wednesday afternoon 8/20.  I am confident the female is 77/AX "Billy". (Note - spelling is as reported in memory of Central Terminal female employee.)

I definitely have 77 in the black over green. If you look through the 4 upside down photos, you can see an X under the right 7. In one pic it almost looks like 2 Xs, but an AX can look that way. Remember, Billy was scratching and I was rapid shooting, hoping to get something with all that movement.

I am heartbroken to hear there has been so much loss. Such a shame this human world and it's buildings get in the way.

No more please.

Here is a link to a few nestbox area photos I took today, from a secure, undisclosed location.

This just in from the Sheraton Watch Saturday 11:05 am.  Harry, Bruce and Alex have all four in view. Three are just south of the Sheraton and one on the nest ledge. Yeah.

WOW! I was going to comment on the wings...which are awesome...and the one at the other end on top of the old camera housing...where does the time go?...and the youngest who is still a total fluffball...

Then I noticed it caught Rhea Mae flying in with brunch!

What a super catch!

[Striker]

"Striker" banded Black 97 over Y, from the Yellow Pages nest site in 2011 (son of Linn & Ruben and Mariah & Kaver grandson) has been confirmed the 2014 resident male in Brampton, Ontario.

His mate is "Midnight" banded Black 98 over Red E with a purple USFW band on the other leg. She is a 2011 hatch from the Chase One nest site in Canton, Ohio.  She is daughter of the late, great Maverick and is from his final brood with Mystic. Midnight was with Milton in 2013. They had a failed nest site and Milton was displaced by Striker in May.

Spooky pic from 4:36 this morning...

Cool!  Tell me DC didn't know his hatchling was coming.

Those are Red-Shouldered Hawks and normally they perch close to humans and aren't aggressive. Amazing what hormones do.
