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.
Thursday it was reported that at least one adult was in the nest vicinity.
Friday, the two adults were spotted south of the nest ledge, and at the same time cries were heard from what might be Mascota at the north set of buildings.

Word was received this evening from Mark Heaton (MNR) that sometime this morning, again at the airport, Vega (28 over Y) suffered a fatal building collision. Vega had been spotted in recent days near the nest, but obviously found his way further abroad.
At least one adult was spotted in the nest vicinity today, monitoring will continue.
I was watching another set of storm clouds roll into the downtown core and noticed a juvie sitting on one of the knobs of the spire!
Haven’t seen a juvie in a while.
