Apparently the second to fledge was Walga, and Tumbler remains by herself.  Walga was found on the ground by a maintenance worker, apparently uninjured, and was placed in a tree.  Tardy has not yet been spotted. 

UGH, where is that boy!! 

I'm not too concerned.  He's around somewhere. I don't think they have a lot of watchers there.

I believe that one of the two girls has fledged. There were two in the nest until a little while ago, and now I can only see one.

I hope she and Tardy are both safe out there.

Yes, one of the commenters said she thought it was Tumbler who fledged second.  That would leave Walga on her own in the Concrete Hilton.  Another good, strong fledge!

Mother and son. Not unheard of in nature, I know, but also not good.   

Tardy was not tardy in fledging!!!  HURRAY!!!

186 years ago today (also Friday the 13th) Sam Patch took his fatal leap over the high falls of the Genesee in Rochester.  He was a daredevil who had survived a jump over Niagara Falls, but not this time. His body was found the following spring in the river at Charlotte, on St. Patrick's Day. He is buried in the Charlotte cemetery. The following is a doggerel that made the rounds after his death.

"Here lies Sam Patch, a man once world renownded.
He so loved the water, and by it he was drownded.
He sought for fame, and when he reached to pluck it
He lost his ballast and kicked the bucket."

Okay, I can't watch anymore.  

Beautiful.  Thanks, Annette.

Wonderful!  Maybe a few of them were Rochesterian falcons.   

I see a couple of them are sleeping like grownups now. 

Apparently there is a male named Tardy and two females, named Walga and Tumbler. 

Getting restless.
