Yesterday Donna Daniel got a call from the highway patrol at the Statehouse reporting that Justice was in a window well on the 1st floor. Although she appeared uninjured, it can be difficult for an inexperienced falcon to get from the ground back up to the building tops, so Division of Wildlife personnel retrieved her. She was checkes out by Donna and she appears to be fine so she was returned to the ledge early this morning.
Since her return this morning, Justice seems content to stay on the nest ledge. She's regrouping before she tries flight again. There are observation windows on the 40th floor of the Rhodes Tower that allow a great view of north, east and south so after putting Justice back out the downtown building roofs where scanned and 2 fledglings and both adults where seen.
Around lunchtime I got a report of a falcon that had crashed into a window of the Riffe Tower (southwest of the Rhodes Tower) and was on a narrow ledge on the 26th floor. Thanks to Dena Harris who saw him and let Joe Vaughn know. Joe took some pictures and notified us. He was able to provide me with the band number which confirmed the bird was Boomer. The most recent information from the Ohio Department of Development is that Boomer is up and moving around from corner to corner of the ledge.
