Dana, Carol P and myself spent the morning out on the Broad Street Bridge watching Beauty and Archer. We had a few interesting observations, including seeing A & B copulate on Mercury’s moneybag and seeing Archer catch a Woodpecker. We saw a couple of other falcons too, including a Kestrel and a juvenile Peregrine....

that's a REALLY good watch, Lou!

The way Archer's carrying that woodpecker is so iconic...like a kid would draw it, beak down.
 
Also - I have to admit that after seeing Jim's shot of Beauty on Mercury's foot, I had a few seconds of wondering what anatomical bit of Mercury his moneybag might be.

Thanks!

The moneybag is in his hand, Dale. Does that help?

yeah, well, like I said, it took me a few seconds to figure out.
I just had to give Mercury a quick once-over
