I got there before 6. Dan S. was there and had witnessed Mariah chasing after a pigeon. (I think that is misspelled). Kaver was on his flower (one of four flower ornaments atop Kodak Tower). Two juvies were in the scrape and one was on the leftledge with one on the right. A little after 6, I noticed a brown speck going from the scrape, looked and sure enough, the juvie on the right was not on the ledge, she went to the floor below, what we call the playpen. One was on a perch and the left ledge had a juvie. Another was still in the nest. Larry joined us and we figured we had another juvie in the playpen since the left ledge was empty. Carol came by to check on all. Kaver periodically came off the flower and did a couple of stoops, coming up empty. One stoop was above the parking lot in front of us so that was exciting! Mariah was on the north smokestack. The juvies did a LOT of flapping. Lots! The little one in the scrape kept going back and forth. Larry said if we didn’t know better, we would think it was two in the scrape instead of one. We did see some flapping on the playpen from all over so these little gals were definitely exercising. Lisa M. and another Kodak person were also there. There was a lot of kakking especially when Kaver flew off the flowers in view of these hungry little ones. Mariah left the stack and when she returned she was on the rail of the playpen. We presumed the juvies were nearby. Kaver had been on the front railing at one point but was basically on a flower. Lucy came for the next watch. Mariah was there on the railing (I told Lisa, I always feel better when Mariah is there)!, two juvies in the playpen, one in the scrape, one on the perch and Kaver on his flower. Active little ones this morning!
