I hope Deborah Wisti-Peterson or Michael Waller will jump in here. The
third and much-smaller female flew... more like jumped.. from the ledge
yesterday afternoon about 3:00PM. After bumping into a few windows, she
landed on a ledge about the 6th Floor. After some observation, Bud
Anderson pulled her from the ledge and took her to the zoo. She has a
throat infection and is quite malnourished. She is not feathered well
enough to fly properly.They gave her liquids and filled her full of
antibiotics, but I don't think the prognosis is good.... Michael? Deborah?

The other two fledglings did their clumsy-bumpy young Peregrine thing
yesterday, with the young tiercel stooping his humongous sister, driving
her downward so that she banged into a window really hard, and spent a
couple of hours hunkered down, perhaps digesting a lesson about windows.
The male was seen doing some window-banging himself yesterday, but both
came through OK for now. Parents continue to escort them on flights, and
Belle attempted a prey transfer to the young tiercel yesterday morning
(to no avail.)

More news soon. Cross your fingers. --EB
