WHITE BOY FLEDGED AROUND 2:55 TODAY, I WAS THE ONLY ONE THERE, TOOK HOURS OF SEARCHING, BUT I FOUND HIM ON THE TRAIN STATION LOW ROOF AND WE RESCUED HIM AT 6:20 AND TOOK HIM TO THE ROOF FOR ANOTHER CHANCE.........HE WENT FROM THE ROOF OF THE TRAIN STATION TO THE TOP OF A GREYHOUND BUS AND THEN TO THE GROUND AND THEN IN SOME SHRUBS. Sue Hannon GOT HIM OUT THE SHRUBS AND WE GOT HIM INTO A BOX. I GOT BIT, SUE GOT TALLONED. HE WAS THE MOST FEISTY MALE I'VE EVER SEEN! BUT LOOK HOW CUTE

HAD A VERY EXCITING MORNING SO FAR. BLUE AND WHITE BOYS WERE STILL ON THE LEDGE BEHIND THE AUDITORIUM THIS MORNING WHEN WE GOT HERE BEFORE 5:30 AM. LATER ON IT WAS DECIDED TO DO A RESCUE. WHITE HAD DROPPED DOWN OFF THE LEDGE, BUT BLUE WAS STILL THERE. I ASKED A GIRL FROM OUR BLDG TO STAY WITH ME IF SHE COULD. SURE ENOUGH, WHEN THEY GOT OUT THERE, BLUE TOOK OFF. HE TRIED TO LAND ON A SMALL ROOF ON THE CHURCH ON 4TH STREET. BECAUSE IT WAS A METAL ROOF, HE SLID OFF AND WHEN THE GIRL AND I GOT DOWN THERE HE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF 4TH STREET. I STOPPED TRAFFIC BOTH WAYS AND THREW MY COAT OVER HIM. PICKED HIM UP AND GOT HIM OFF THE STREET AND AS I HELD HIM, THE GIRL WITH ME (BONNIE) HELPED ME GET HIS TALONS OUT OF MY COAT SO I COULD GET HIM IN THE BOX. TOOK HIM OVER TO OUR BLDG WHERE BOTH HE AND WHITE COULD BE RELEASED ON THE ROOF. THEY CAME OUT TO THE FRONT EDGE PRETTY QUICKLY AND WHITE TOOK OFF AND WENT OVER TO 333 MARKET AND WAS 4 WINDOWS DOWN FROM THE TOP CLINGING BY A WINDOW FOR A WHILE AND WHEN HE FLEW OFF, HE FLEW OVER THE UNIVERSITY AND BACK TO OUR ROOF. HE ALSO THEN FLEW OVER TO THE TOP OF STRAWBERRY SQUARE AND THEN HE FLEW BACK TO OUR BLDG AND AT ONE POINT BACK ON THE LEDGE!! HE GRABBED SOME FOOD HE FOUND LAYING ON THE LEDGE, MANTLED IT AND SCREAMED AND TOOK IT TO THE SHADE OF THE ORANGE POST. DON'T TELL ME THEY AREN'T SMART :-) HE ENDED UP FLYING OFF AGAIN AND IS PROBABLY ON TOP OF OUR BLDG AGAIN. BLUE FINALLY FLEW OFF OUR BLDG, BUT LANDED IN THE BALCONY. I CAME INSIDE FOR LUNCH, A BANANA WON'T HOLD ME ALL DAY :-) WILL BE GOING BACK OUT SHORTLY. I MAY HAVE MISSED SOMETHING, THINGS HAPPEN SO FAST, BUT I FEEL BLESSED I WAS ABLE TO HELP BLUE AND NOT LET HIM GET RUN OVER BY A CAR!

Both males are flying well and are receiving flight lessons from the adults. Soon they will start learning to hunt.
