From Peregrine Place...

Luckily Michelle, Enrique and Carol were on watch at the Statler tonight. The juvie had been on a cement type awning on a building at Delaware and Mohawk since last midnight! Parents were aware and were feeding her and trying to get her to fly. She finally flew but first in the wrong direction and then back to Statler but instead of landing on it she hit it and then went to ground on the street. Our well prepared and experienced watchers had everything in han, made contact with the SPCA and took the little juvie there per instructions. Michelle will probably have an update later when they get home. Thank you excellent watchers! You had another excellent adventure today!

[Carol P.]

Great job Michelle, Enrique and Carol!

And Michelle's update from last evening...

Statler City Rescue - When we arrived we found Erica on a low overhang about 20 ft off the ground. According to the security guard in the building she had been there since last night. She appeared to be OK and mom eventually fed her. After a lot of running up and down the ledge she decided to try her wings. She flew across Delaware Ave. and up Mohawk about 5 ft off the ground. When she tried to turn the corner onto Franklin she brushed the side of the Statler and came to the ground. We tried to capture her there but she got spooked and flew across Mohawk to the parking lot behind Osteria. We were finally able to get the silver jacket over her and load her into a box. I don't remember seeing anyone taking pics but I was focused on Erica! I had been in contact with SPCA Wildlife and was asked to drop her off at the SPCA. I'm glad she is safe and sound and away from the fireworks. Michelle
