We spotted all five fledglings tonight. Four of them– Seneca, Zephyr, Susan B and Diamante, spent most of the evening on the BeeBee Station. Quest stayed on Kodak’s building 16, south of the tower. Zephyr made a nice flight chasing Mariah northward over the gorge, and it looked like most, if not all, had dinner. Seneca and Zephyr in particular ate their fill of a very fat pigeon, with feathers flying everywhere.

The low sun in the west made for some nice silhouettes of the falcons, but it wasn’t good for photography. I’ll be out again tomorrow morning. It was the opinion of the assembled watchers that the fledglings are ready to begin their stint in the gorge, so I’m hopeful that I’ll have some pictures to share tomorrow.
