AWWW!!! Sleeping beak to beak 

Don't tell anyone you saw that, OK?  I could lose my Fierce Falcon rep!

AWWW!!! Sleeping beak to beak 

              

Beauty moves in...                     ...steals the snack and leaves

The last pic Ei, is where I thought Jemison got spooked and flew off the ledge. It all happened so fast, thanks for the pics. It was quite a riot for a second.

This was the opening frame of the capture...Jemison was already nowhere to be seen...off the roof hiding in the corner of the south ledge.  The action started 10 seconds later.

This frame reminded me of Carol P.'s picture of Mariah landing

Stills from the video

              
Beauty incoming                       Archer and Beauty arrive simultaneously

              

Beauty moves in...                     ...steals the snack and leaves



(need a new download of video editing software...hopefully tomorrow...)

Reviewed the tape...Jemison had actually already left the roof when the flurry happened...but it happened so fast with so much squawking...you can see & hear Beauty flying in from the south to intercept Archer...it seemed to all happen at once.  I'm going to try trimming the video down to just that scene...incredible!

And it was Archer who came back with the snack Callidora stole.

That was some excitement...recap...

8:08 Beauty brings in dinner & feeds the girls

8:20 Dinner's over & Callidora is picking at a wing while Jemison's on top of the box.

8:22 Archer arrives with a snack.  Beauty flies up and steals the snack in a flurry of wings.  Next thing we know, Jemison's not on the roof any more.  Panning around...no Jemison.  We can hear her...

8:24 Adult arrives with a snack...Callidora grabs it & runs into the box.  (Have to check the tape...I think Beauty brought it...and then...)

8:26 Archer arrives & eats some of the snack then feeds the rest to Callidora

8:28 Jemison pops up

...she was on the side of the box all along!

Is C on the south ledge in the corner?

I've been trying to figure out how Callidora manages to hide so well on the south ledge corner...didn't realize the box was that far from the wall...she's getting behind it.

Thought for sure she was going over that time!

It's interesting watching her try to balance in the wind...facing the wind is OK...turning around to head for the platform, not so much...

 

I caught some video this afternoon of Jemison hanging out on the ledge.  Toward the end (3:06) she watches and adult fly to the ledge above.
