Well, that's a bummer!   

MAK's tweets not coming through on my ph! Anyone else???

I did not get MAK's second tweet today on my phone, Donna, but I got the first one and the third one. 

Open wide.

Daddy Bula meets his first offspring.  Precious.

Mom's back and there's a possible pip in one of the other two eggs.  Oh, it would be nice to watch more than one eyas in this nestbox!

Okay, now where have I seen this before?  The youngster is on his back and Dad brought food.  However, Dad doesn't seem particularly interested in feeding him right now, and since he was just hatched within the last few hours, he doesn't need to eat right away.  Mom left.  Poor kid, but I think he'll be okay.

Yay!  Thanks, Kris.  I checked in late this morning, and nothing had happened yet.  Here's a screencapture, although not a very good one. 

Two men just cleaned my office window.  I told them I appreciate it even though the window is really high and I can't see much out of it, but that I like to look through it to watch the falcons when they are on the First Federal Building (OCSR). The told me they also clean the windows on that building, and I said they have my deepest admiration for all the falcon poop they encounter.  They laughed.   

Two on FCT for a few minutes this afternoon, below platform, middle/right:

Cool!  Sort of Back to Back to the Future. 

And today:

"gulp"

Which begs the question...if the birds have possibly decided to move (for whatever reason & whether we like it or not & we won't know for sure until spring) should plans to remove that box proceed? I'm not so sure what the right answer is.

Like the netting at KO. I'd like to see it removed but I have no doubt they'd give serious consideration to nesting on the ledge where the old box was if it was removed.

As much as we'd hate the extremely limited view at Powers it is about the birds.

Well said, Ei, and I agree.  I realize I'm not as knowledgeable about bird behavior as many other rfalconcam followers, but it seens to me that removing that box now could potentially put them in a more dangerous situation if they remain averse to the Times Square Building nest.  I guess we'll have to see what happens in the next few months.  Perhaps they'll start to like TSB again. As we know, stranger things have happened.

No hatches or pips yet, but Diamond is acting quite restless, so I think she's hearing and feeling them.  First egg was laid August 31, second was September 3 and last was September 6. 

And today:

Beauty and Dot.ca (presumably) bonding at Powers.

How did I NOT see this!! Was just going through the archives! 

Not sure.  It was pretty quick, though.
