I opened the cam at 8 pm to find Aries in the box squeaking and Durand on the ledge by the ledge cam freaking repeatedly and smacking her beak. Either she just ate or she fed the kids. Aries then became motionless in the box, trying to get some Zzzzzzz's. He is such a droopy drawers. The kids must really be tiring him out. Durand is wide awake, checking out the skyline, and preening.
8:01 pm - Aries in the box.
Durand on the ledge bowing to him.
8:09 pm - Aries falls asleep.
8:21 pm - Aries comes out on the ledge. Durand bows. He goes to the top of the box roof, facing the wall. She looks like she might be whining at him....lol.
8:23 pm - He's preening...she's whining.
8:36 pm - Both still there. It's amazing to me that none of the kids has tried to follow the parents to the ledge. Durand is not hiding. She is perched on the ledge edge in plain view.
8:49 pm - Durand whining to Aries on top of the box.
8:50 pm - Aries wakes up. He pops down form the roof into the box, bowing. Looks like he wants to bond, but Durand is not obliging him. He moves to the porch out of cam view.
Aries comes down into the box.
Aries before departing.
8:59 pm - As I was typing, I think Aries took off. Durand was still on the ledge and I saw a bird flying from left to right. Then later, I saw a falcon flying upward and to the right.
9:09 pm - Someone flying from right to lower left. Durand still on the ledge.
9:15 pm - Falcon soaring left to right. Durand on the ledge.
9:22 pm - Durand still on the ledge. Preening. Seeing an occasional feather take to the air and her beak has down on it.
Not sure who I saw flying. Hoping the kids were flying with Dad, but I never saw two birds at once on cam in the air. I have lots of pics, but need to find another photo site to use.
