It was a pretty quiet and predictable watch.

Quest flew from the Kodak building  to the smokestack . It was the first time I have seen a juvenile fly this year. Great flight  and good landing! I liked that!

Seneca did spend the whole evening in the playpen, Mariah watched over her early in the evening as Seneca ate her meal. 

We had a bit of action when Susan B flew and tagged Mariah, hoping for a meal . SB landed on the level with the scallops ( I never know what level number they are!)  and remained there for the rest of my watch. It was good to see her back in action!

Diamonte flew over to the stack to be with his sister. They stayed there most all of the night.

Kaver stayed on the Rocket ship level, supervising all of the action.

Everyone stayed in place, except Mariah e=who seemed to flit around to check on everyone.

There was no feeding action from my view until later when Mariah tried to stoop a Mourning Dove, right by us on the kodak building veranda. She missed, but the dove hid under the railing by the building all night. As it got dark one of the birds from the stack flew over to the tower. 

A short time later we saw Mariah chase the other off of the stac and on to the tower. it was really amazing to see her actually corral a juvenile to the tower. Soon after, Kaver left the tower ~so as to say , his work was done for the night and Mariah had things under control, and he flew to the south  his favorite hunting ground.

We saw everyone but Zephyr.  I wouldn’t worry about him , though, he has shown himself to be a successful fledgling.
