Awesome!!! 
 

they also discuss who will watch over Orville during the winter...

Well, Donna, it looks like it must have been interesting to watch, but I don't think it made it to Boston.

Ei, I second that one

I agree with Paul, et. al. unless one sits for an extended period, it is difficult to make a solid conclusion about the presence/absence of Warrior.  I am currently observing a fledgling crow we released last Thursday.  He is in a small area, and I still do not always see him!  Yesterday during one of my observation periods I located him by noticing a blinking eye in the leaves, otherwise I would never have seen the little guy! 

As Carol said watching the adults for a period of time would also give a better indication.  I think they could use about 5 or 6 watchers watching for an entire day, and there are still areas not accessible for watching. 

As Paul mentioned it has been HOT and we all know how inactive they can be when it is hot!

I haven't given up on Warrior yet, maybe because I am hoping he is still alive for Seneca and Cheyenne!

Donna, thanks for posting those pics from the cams!  I kept trying to check, but missed it all!

Don and I spent a wonderful weekend in Rochester!  When we arrived Saturday morning Callidora and Beauty flew over us in Aqueduct Park.  Don rushed back to the car to get the camera and they both flew low enough that I put my binos down and just enjoyed watching them!  We stayed in the Aqueduct Park area most of the day, sitting under the trees and out of the sun.  We were joined by Dana, Carol, Jeanne, and Brian.  Jim D. also popped in for a bit.  It was great to see Callidora make her first OCSR I-beam landing, after several attempts to scope out the precise logistics of an I-beam! 

Sunday morning we went to the bridge where Dana, Dan, and MAK were watching.  This was the morning we watched Callidora and Beauty in a food exchange.  We all knew it was coming, because Beauty flew around, prey in talons, looking for Callidora.  Archer offered to take the food, but Beauty was saving it for Callidora.  Carol, Dana, and Don were clicking away with their cameras, while I just enjoyed watching mom and daughter!  It was awesome! 

This is the link to the photo album Don put together of the exchange.  Hope you enjoy it.
