All four birds have fledged successfully in San Francisco!  One of the falconwatchers reports what it was like:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the frantic chase around the neighborhood looking for Ziva, everyone, all 6 birds included, seemed to "flock" to the PGE building.They put on a spectacular flying display going back & forward toward 123 Mission, over the Mission/Main intersection and back to PGE. They erupted off the roof repeatedly, came back and did it again. it looked like a fireworks display- a cascading fountain of Peregrines. Truly an awesome sight. As darkness started to settle we took the days final head count. Satisfied that all were present and snuggled into their roosts for the night, we retreated to Fledge Watch HQ to retrieve our gear. It was dark by the time we exited the building.  A job well done by both humans and the birds. The last light had left but the sky and our hearts were filled with a sense of well being. Sleep well our feathered family

Good night George........Good night Gracie...........

Just ran across these videos by Jim (zooey91) compiled from this nest.

The first is made up of feeding clips from fluffball to fledglings!

The second is clips of their final week on the nest ledge.
