Mike Shaw sent me a photo of an adult with some food, a Coot (water fowl) he says, coming off of the JSMB. Fantastic photo! Pretty sure this is Mom.

Update July 9
I spent only a few hours downtown tonight. Primo was released on the Beehive aroun 11am and had been sitting there all day with no attempted flights. I was told that Boxer had some more great flights today but disappeared around 2pm. When I arrived at 5pm, Bob and I went up in some of the taller buildings trying to find her. The last she was seen was possibly landing on the Beehive. No luck. Around 6:30, Susan yelled over the radio, "I have TWO birds on the Beehive!" And sure enough, Boxer Sue had found her brother Primo and was having some bonding time. When I left at 7:15, they were still there. They were doing a lot of vocalizing and I can only suspect that Boxer Sue was telling Primo to get his butt out there and fly!

To Mike Shaw; What a fantastic shot! Simply beautiful....thank you! And to Liz, thanks again for the updates. I am still so attached to this awe-inspiring family of predators... it will be sad when the updates cease, as I know that they will. But I will be there next year, in a much more participatory way! But I hope that we can still get a few more updates! I think we just want to make sure that Primo will fly with confidence. Talons crossed. :) Oh, and if you find a good recipe for gazpacho soup, I would love to try it! Thanks again, Liz.
Susan Williams or Twitter--(Suzisurprize) :)

I have to check this and the Facebook site daily for my falcon update fix....love that picture of the parent with food for baby (although it's a bit icky...LOL)
Hope to maybe catch the babies and/or parents by site when I am in the area Thursday evening. Definitely going to try.

This goes for anyone stopping down to visit.. Please stop by the HQ, right between admin and Joaeph Smith buildings on South Temple St. Say hi to Bob and ask what is best spot to see kids. Ask to borrow someones binoculars.. Dont be shy, the volunteers are very helpful and live discussing the falcons...Liz
