Rest in Peace little one. Your struggle is ended and you're now flying free with your sibling.
 

7:35 pm. Ontario made it to the top of the nest box for a few moments.

Didn't Beauty drag one back into the nestbox that had fallen out? It was still a small fluffball like Junior.

I remember this Ei.

I will get to Union County Courthouse shortly to see Cadence in action.  Not sure they will band the chick this year because of the stress on Cadence.

That's great Bonnie! 

Have a very happy birthday Carla!
 

That's a good question Donna. 

Ok. Thanks Carly.  I assume they are not given names.

Doesn't look like it but at least they band.  We can always name them ourselves and just match them to their band numbers

Donna - I believe that note was in response to some people asking if the NJDEP would go up and remove the body of the little one and the eggs.  No one had mentioned banding at all in the comments so perhaps that's not off the table yet. 

I've asked a couple of times about whether they band and never received an answer.

We have a whirly!!! And a nice one to boot!!

Very nice! Where's Dale? lol 

Someone lose an egg?

Probably from prey.  Based on size, probably a pigeon. That's a first! 

Yeah, figured Pigeon....hope it doesn't hatch?

7:50 am. Rhea Mae is feeding her two fluffy Eyases! Captured a picture that shows her band. Best look at her black over red, PT band that I've seen in a long time. 

I just checked in on the cams and Cadence was backing slowly out of the igloo.  I thought what in the world is she doing!  She got just to the entrance and took a huge poop shot, then went back in to the eyas.
