Well after Blue and Silver girl had fledged yesterday quite a lot has happened. Reenie who works at the Rachel Carson Building reports:
Silver had a flight this morning over toward the Fifth Street Garage, which is right beside the Carson Building. Sounded like she may have bumped into the side of it, but got herself collected, flew out, and is now safely back on the atrium where she was last night. Blue is still above the main entrance to the building, and has been trying to work her way up this solar panel that's on the top of that entrance. I know that panel has a pretty steep incline, and that might be hard for her. Blue also had some pigeons around her, but at this stage she wouldn't know what to do with them.
Next report:
Silver took off from the atrium roof toward the Chestnut Street Garage. They weren't sure were she went, but thought maybe on the roof of this little apartment building across the street. Blue is hiding behind the solar panel at the entrance to the Carson Building. Silver took off from the roof of the apartment building and is now on the ninth floor ledge of the Carson Building. That would mean she's six floors below the nest ledge, but gaining height on each flight. Maybe she'll make it back
Next update. Blue took off, not sure exaactly where she was headed, but she wound up ON 4th Street near a van that was parked. She was rescued, and was trying to break out of the rescue box. Silver took off, tried to land on the church steeple, missed, and now has flown somewhere inside the construction building next door. The watchers saw where she went in, and that section of the construction is being blocked off right now so that nobody can harm her or be harmed by her.
Next update Blue is inside the building right now, and seems to be OK. She's going to be released on the roof of the Carson Building sometime later this afternoon. Silver apparently got out of the construction building, and it is thought that she flew back over to the small apartment building across the street. Being on watch can be very difficult, for things can happen quickly.
Thank you so much Reenie for your updates and all the work you do for the falcons!
