I am spending a bit of time this morning at my desk watching these two. Both are on the nest having a conversation for quite awhile. As much as I love the Mississippi River and Travis & Michelle, I much prefer the quiet of the SLC nest.

Me too Hiker. I vacillate between concern for his ongoing lethargy and admiration for his willingness to continue waiting for food drops. I logged in this morning and was alarmed to see him in the corner with his eyes closed, not moving. Shortly thereafter, I noted his breathing and realized he was "resting".

I had to lean waaaaaayyyyyy in to see the food offering brought tonight by one of the parents. I do believe we have a big, fat goose on the menu. It's some kind of fowl anyway.

I would have loved seeing that thing being flown in! Don't you know that people on the ground in that very populated place couldn't believe their eyes! LOL

Little whiny is ignoring the food and is standing at the edge of the box crying like it's starving to death. I think it might be able to see one of it's parents or siblings from the front of the box and maybe is just lonesome.??? Not lonesome enough yet to make the big leap though!

I have really enjoyed watching this cam during the nesting season. The three little ones were quite demanding and yet well taken care of. The parents assured they were nurtured and well fed. Skye seems to be taking his/her time, but that is okay. S/he is well developed, not forgotten and is being afforded the opportunity to find his/her wings.

Skye fledged at 5:47 a.m. nest time. Beautiful!

Getting Ready

All 3 kids have fledge. #3 fledge this morning (6/28) Mom arrives at the nest box at approximately 5:08 with food. She spends the next 10 minutes looking around and listening. (maybe there's juvie in the area that the mic isn't picking up? who knows)
