I've been away from the computer all afternoon. This was posted on SF Yahoo Forum.

Report from the canyon -- RIP Eliza, Blue Z/10

Came down to see what we could see from my office across the street from the nest (arrived around 1:30). We only observed one juvenile, first on bay 10, then on several others. Since last night (when all 3 were on camera at 8:20), I've only seen two on PG&E, and that was this morning.

Around 3:30 I observed what seemed to be a food drop at the SE corner of the Steuart tower.

At 3:45, we saw a juvenile fly in from the east and hit the north side of 123 Mission and drop to the street below. When I went down to check on her, she was dead (band Z/10).

We're still seeing one juvenile on the nest ledge, Lotta (Red 25/R). Both parents came by around 4:30, one with prey.

Hopefully Lotta will stay put for a while. No sign of Terra/Yellow, but there are several places out of camera range on PG&E so it's possible she hasn't fledged yet.

If you're in the area this evening, keep an eye on the sky, not just the PG&E building.

Fly free, Eliza.
