From FB:A response to a question if there was any news about the fledglings.

Yes! We just received an update yesterday: Max our male chick seems to have taken flight, and we haven't seen him for about a week. The remaining two females: Charlotte and Penelope have had a few issues: one seems to have broken her collar bone and the other one was caught up in a net on a nearby building, and seems to have gotten a little thin. Both have now been taken to Fontenelle Forest Raptor Recovery and are safely recuperating.

    

That's not a very promising update.

How awful for them all!! What's going on there? Never heard of all fledges in trouble before!! This is very sad to read!

2015 Falcon Watch: Yesterday, the two remaining female chicks, who have been in rehab, were released by Fontenelle Forest's Raptor Recovery from the roof of WoodmenLife Tower. Penelope was successfully released and immediately took flight. However, Charlotte did not, and will be taken back to the Raptor Recovery for additional rehab. While we were on the roof, we also saw Charity (mom), who landed on the roof when she heard Charlotte squawking.
