Upset in progress with intruder here! Heard cries of falcon, came in and saw Mona vocal and watching. Then saw a possible falcon (?) being chased by another and I assumed it was Rich doing the chasing as they zoomed past the ledge. Then Mona flew out and joined the pursuit. Soon Rich to the ledge. Heard loud vocals, went back in and he's in the box bowing and she's just outside the box around 16:05. She soon joined him and shortly he flew. She's on the ledge at 16:10.

Possible falcon flew downward near the building several minutes ago, maybe from the roof while Mona surveys the city from the ledge. Probably Rich from her reaction. And gone, she flew off in the last couple minutes.

Unbelievable! Just as I went in at 00:15, they arrived to the ledge talking up a storm. One went into the nest and the other remained on the ledge. Both still here at 00:18. I think it is Mona on the ledge, but don't know for sure. They are still in same positions at 1:32 am. Same positions at 2:36 am. 4:40 am. Him on ledge? Too dark and I won't be here when the sun rises.

Came in and they were loud, when I looked in the nest, he was there with a food gift (whole bird) and she was standing on the rim of the nest. Mona tried to get it away from him, but he wouldn't let go and eventually flew off with it. She's in the nest looking around, then calling out. Oops, she flew!

I just missed the meet and greet in the nest. Could hear it from the other room. He flew just as I came in and she remains in the nest chattering.

Single overnighter crouched on the ledge near the building looks to be Mona. And 1 spider larger than her working on a web. :teehee:

Went in and she was standing on the ledge, then flew out.

Well she's back again tonight in the same spot as last night, if that is her. Everything looks kind of soupy. I don't see the rain, but believe I can hear it.

Came in and could hear but not see them. Then 1 of them flew up toward the roof and back down and around. Same time, I could hear a vehicle accelerating down the road and what sounded like about 3 gun blasts at spaced intervals moving away from the area. Then one of the falcons went to the nest that was vocal and a siren from a police car could be heard in the near distance moving away in the same direction as the other vehicle. The falcon flew. My PC flashed a blue screen and went dead. It happened sometime between 6 and 6:30 CST and I am just now getting back in. Hope everything is okay. It sure woke me up!!
