715AM - Mascota was spotted south of the nest ledge, so it appears there’s still 3 falcons in town
Both adults spotted this aft in the shade south of the nest ledge.
One falcon was reported at the nest location ~4PM today.
Observed the parents today, both were at the nest ledge together. The male appears to have eaten very recently judging from the red foot, the female was tucked back in the corner. The female is standing in an indent in the gravel, doubtful that means much.

Tonight just as the rain rolled in, a juvenile, presumably Mascota, was spotted at the southmost end of the complex, at the original nest ledge. A 100% band ID was not possible but photos were finally managed for a change.

Fri Sept 5 - near the nest ledge, one apparent juvenile was observed, confirmation via band ID was not possible.
Sun Sept 8 - 545pm - one falcon seen and heard making what seemed to be cries for food, flew across from N side to S. This call not normally heard from adults, seems it may be juvenile. A female Kestrel was observed in the air around the same time
Apologies for the less than conclusive report, there’s minimal action lately.
Two falcons observed, one at nest ledge, one on south face. Couldn’t determine if they were adult or juvenile without optics.
