We are 99.999999% sure that Mariah has returned to the Kodak Tower. During my 3 hour Watch this afternoon, she mostly remained on the K-Tower.

As Jeanne reported, there were workers on the Tower, under scaffolding which covers the top three floors of the tower. She flew by them a few times, but it was nothing like banding day. Thank goodness!

We did see a split wing tip, so again we’re pretty certain it’s Mariah.

She was very intent on ousting the 5-6 Crows that thought they could just hang out on the lower Bldg 10, just north of the K-Tower. We saw her make several
stoops on them. But, they’re pretty stubborn and kept returning. I have no doubt Mariah will win this battle.

Kathy O and Dan saw Mariah on the top I-Beam of the old Changing Scene’s Restaurant. I arrived just as Mariah flew off of the OCRS and headed toward us down the east side of the gorge. She passed directly over us and straffed the pigeons on the Brewery. She then returned to the K-Tower.

When I left at 3:30 pm, Mariah was sitting on the SE corner of the launch pad (K-Tower) and a quick visit to Midtown showed Archer sitting calmly on the SE corner of Midtown. All seemed very calm.

I truly hope that many Watchers will be out to keep an eye on the situation.
