A tribute to Green Boy – we should get together and put a screen on that CHIMNEY at Webster Hall ourselves if THEY DON’T. It is ashame this had to happened. I cried for 2 days over him. He was a joy to watch. My husband emailed Beth about this and she is upset too. Hopefully, something will be done and done SOON.

So sad about Green Boy! I had been away from the computer since Thursday and was so upset when a friend told me the news. Nature is crule and we humans don’t make it much better.
Thank you Kate for all the information and explanations about the falcons and for bringing them into our world. And thank you to Peter for the great pictures and all the others who watch our falcons. It has been sush a joy to watch from the egglaing to the babies first peck out of the shell and now they are out flying around! I will miss getting on the computer every day to see what’s going on with our Peregrins.
I’m going to Denmark this summer where my young nephue has been watching our Peregrins too and I will bring some pictures. He had some problems with his computer so I don’t think he knowes about Green Boy.

Wow. I just read the news about ‘Elmo’ (as my husband and I called Green boy). It’s so sad. He was our favorite, from the time we watched him get knocked off his perch onward. I’m going to hate to have to tell my husband the sad news.

I go to church at Bellefield in Oakland, and have more than once been surprised by a falcon blazing through our parking lot. In fact, many years ago, a friend came out to find a falcon with a pigeon sitting on her car. She turned right around and went back into church! I have been reading your blog since the eggs were laid; thank you for wonderful reporting.

Thanks Kate for the updates……it was awful to learn about Green boy, but heart-warming to know that Yellow is in rehab and hope we hear good news about her. Many thanks to Peter for the good new about the others. Your photos are excellent. Reading your comments and seeing your photos was definitely a big help to me. I’m glad that top portion of chimney was removed. At least we know no others will be trapped there. It’s still hard to accept it was not done sooner, but that cannot be undone….so we must put it behind. I’m so glad Yellow was rescued.

The adults maintain their pair bond throughout the year & do visit the nest occasionally in June & July. Since Louie & Dori are a relatively new pair they would be likely to court there. Very sweet.

All – was just on Gulf webcam and Ontwoman was there… she alerted me that the parent’s had just visited. We were both excited to see them. I made a hotspot of the event. There was lots of chirping and chattering between the two. Kate, can you explain what may have been going on? Thanks.
