Wednesday, June 24, 2020 - Falcon Watch Coordinators Nathan and Chelsea report: 5:20am, there was an adult dressing a meal on the north side Homewood Suites sign. The other adult was on a BDC window ledge. 5:50am, the parent on Homewood flew up to the roof. We heard calling, then a chick appeared on the top northeast corner and was delivered a meal. Around 6:30am, we noticed both adults dressing prey, Lily on David Braley, Ossie on Homewood. At 6:43am, Lily delivered her food to the chick on top of Homewood. I could see the chick still had to finish dressing it. A very vocal morning for these falcons. Slightly concerned that I have not seen four falcons together. But there were a lot of meals today. More than seemed reasonable for one chick. 8:05am, the chick on top of Homewood made its way to BDC, flying straight for the westside window ledge and landing. This was followed by Lily landing next to her and she appeared to have brought more food. Shortly after, both adults were perched on the westside near the chick. There they remained for more than four hours. Chick same place, pancaked. Adults making occasional brief fly arounds, then returning to the same positions. Things changed around 12:36pm. One by one they flew from BDC. Ossie was first to go, then Lily. She was followed by Whitehern. Ossie landed on Standard Life, southeast corner ledge at 12:45pm. The chick was seen flying after Lily, north, between Sheraton and Thomson building, out of sight. At 1:15pm, Whitehern was seen chasing an adult, while being very vocal, and landed on the SW corner of Standard Life (left photo), but was still very vocal. She stayed there for about 40 minutes before leaving. At 2:30 pm, Whitehern was on the west most ledge of the Sheraton (right photo). She stayed for 15 minutes and flew SW. Around 3:04 PM, Whitehern landed on the SW corner of Standard Life again. At one point, she went further onto the roof, when 2 small birds flew by, she jumped back on the ledge and was watching them as they flew away. She left Standard Life at 3:47 pm, heading SW. A few minutes later, a chick was chasing Lily and they headed SW. The chick was very vocal and had spotted Ossie on the eastern duck of Homewood. Ossie flew off the duck when the chick came, but the chick had a hard time slowing down and turning in time and bumped into the window under the duck. The chick seemed fine and flew back SW, while Ossie flew back onto the duck. Once again, given how capable a flyer Whitehern has become, we wonder if we were seeing Griffin? The parents were seen flying around downtown, and at 4:08 PM, was seen eating. At 7:10pm, Whitehern was seen dressing a meal on the SE corner of the Sheraton, and eventually ate it. She was eating for almost an hour, when she finally had enough. She walked a short distance along the parapet, and Lily, who was on the nest ledge, flew over to where Whitehern had been and claimed the remainder of the food (right photo). hour. We were wondering if maybe Whitehern had caught the food, as it seemed to be a pretty large catch. The parents have been in the habit of only bringing a small amount of food, to entice the chick to go find food with the parents. This meal was large enough for both herself and Lily. Also, this was the first time in a long while where Lily and Whitehern were close together without Whitehern chasing Lily away. Whitehern soon flew towards SE corner of Standard Life, while Lily flew to the ledge beside the nest. In the last 40 minutes of the evening, Lily flew towards the NE corner of the Homewood Suites, Whitehern flew east, Ossie was on the duck, and a chick had flown towards Lily, and was very loud. The chick perched on a lower ledge of Homewood on the northeast corner, and stayed there for the remainder of the evening, while Lily flew back towards the nest ledge. There was some speculation that the chick might have been Griffin, as it was very vocal and was going towards Lily for food, however, Whitehern already had eaten a large meal, so she probably wasn't hungry. Like yesterday, we weren't 100% sure that we had seen Griffin throughout the evening. Hopefully tomorrow he will land someplace where we can verify that yellow tape on his leg band.
