A quick update from last night's watch.  I joined Brian H on the Broad St Bridge and we were soon joined by Kathy O, Larry O & Cleo.  Beauty was our only Falcon sighting last night.  Archer was no where to be found. 

It's getting dark really early now, so we were all getting ready to leave around 7:30 pm.  Brian and I crossed over to the north side of the bridge and Brian yelled out that there was a Green Heron on the river below.  Cool!  We all came over for a look and saw that it was an adult Black Crowned Night Heron (BCNH), not a Green!  WooHoo!  Life bird for me.   

We all got good looks at this beautiful bird as she hunted below us, in the fading light.  All of a sudden a juvenile BCNH flew up to the adult and landed next to her.  Mom (I think) was off to another section of the river.  The juvie looked around and before long, flew over to the adult and buzzed her.  This "play" continued for about 10 mins before both flew around, over the river and under the Broad St. bridge.

That was definitely the highlight of last night's watch for me.  This was the first time Kathy, Larry and I saw these beautiful birds and to see an adult and juvie together was incredible.

Breaking News!  This just in from Brian H, Joyce and Kathy O.  There are TWO Peregrines at Kodak Park.  They've been standing in the pouring rain watching them for the past hour or so.  Brian says that the Tiercel is very large and the female is REALLY big!  Joyce will check her pics tonite to see if she got any pics of the bands.  Stay tuned!
