Hi Sandy,
Are you the person who told me about the finches tormenting Larry while on the pole near the transformer yard? Anyway, I am attempting to put together photos for either a video or flicker site (and make an album for each photographer). At any rate, feel free to send me some photos and I will give you credit as I use them.

Thanks.

June 11th - Hi Hildy - thanks for the updates on everyone. Has anyone spotted Lucy? Glad that Lucky is doing so well. I was going to come by Monday at lunch when I was told by John and Ernie and another person that Lucky and Lucy had fledged. I miss seeing you and everyone but I've gotten lots of great pictures and will post some next week. You've become quite the birder now - good for you!! It was great knowing you and I'm sure glad I answered all those bird questions of yours the first day we met! Good job saving Larry!! Sandy (Selesky)

You really get around, Hildy. Nice hawk watching!

And still going :-)

Technically you are right, but I was counting the ground level and the lofted area. But it's high just the same.

That's interesting. Thanks.

Thank you. And I had time to make the video.

Ernie,
The latest video was beautiful. I felt like I was watching old home movies. The back ground music set the mood and of course I got misty eyed. I am being to think I am a helicopter mom. For those who are empty nesters, they understand the term. But good news, I am started to get some chores done. Hildy

I went by the "hood" at 2:30PM to check on Lucky. He was on top of The Best Western, his regular spot. He was looking and looking and looking. He made a call I had never heard before, not his familiar cry and not the hawk screech, maybe his voice is matuing. I stayed for about 15 minutes. The hotel employees didn't seemed bothered, I was told several people were there around lunch time taking pictures. When I returned to my car at the other end of the lot I heard a mockingbird singing it's repetoire. At the very end was Luck's cry. I was impressed! Hildy

185 looks like a four story building not a seven story building.

Thanks for the added footage.
What an amazing journey it has been.

Tues., June 8th a small group of us regulars aound 7PM spotted Larry on a tree in the back parking lot behind 185 Alewife being harressed by smaller birds. He apears to be getting larger and is in a safer, quieter place. There are people and cars of course by at least he is not over the parkway. A couple of us were getting loud due to some bickering so he flew away. I also spotted Lucky on top of the office building next to the parkway. He succesfully flew over the parkway[yicks!]onto a tree and looking good. One of the adults was with him on the roof as well as taking off after him. The adult headed toward 185 Alewife. There, he was being bombed by smaller birds continuously and he was losing his footing but held his own. A woman named Katherine told me she had watched Lucky fly back and forth the night before looking good. When I left around 8:00PM he was holding on to the end of a branch blowing and swinging in the wind. Why he didn't move closer to the center for better gravity or fly back to the flat roof I don't know. But yet again, I am not a hawk. Hildy
