We had a perfectly miserable time of it tonight. From the time of my arrival about 7 p.m., Yellow Boy and Dad had been missing for over an hour, and Peter was looking for Yellow Boy while Becky and Dave kept an eye on the others from the top of the parkade. Red Girl was on top of the Extension Building on my arrival, Blue and Mom were on Windsor Tower. Peter returned - no sign of Yellow or Dad. Then, it started to rain, not rain, but pour. I went to look for Yellow again as Peter was fagged out, but no sign of him, and when I returned to the parkade, Peter went out again, and it just continued to pour, we could not see anything, we were beyond soaked. Dave had to leave, then, while Becky and I watched, Red Girl decided to leave her perch, she hovered around College Plaza, thought about landing on Windsor, but gave it up and headed back behind the Extension Building, and we could not see her anymore, so I went down to look for her. She was perched on the back, and finding her was the best news we had tonight. Meanwhile, Blue flew over to the CSB and Mom went to the top of the heart institute. I got back to the parkade, and shortly after Red Girl took off and headed for the CSB, where she safely landed on the top corner, which we were so happy to see. Then, some guy apparently goes out on the roof of the CSB, and mom went into full alert mode, swooping and screeching. All I could think of was Scout (in Columbus, Ohio) and what if some some janitor was up there with a broom, so this was an awful moment. While this was going on, and what was especially worrisome, is that Dad did not appear, as he usually does, to help out with the attack. Where was he? Then, the guy left the roof because shortly after, we saw someone looking out the window one story down, but by this time Mom had disappeared. It was now almost dusk, we were all soaked, cold, and miserable, and now Mom, Dad and Yellow were missing. Peter was down on the ground looking for mom, we were all desperate for a sign of the missing falcons, we could hardly see by this time as it was almost dusk. As I left, Peter was still on the ground, and Becky was trying to see any sign of them before it got really dark. Leaving like this was so discouraging, we just don't know where we are at.
