Sue, thanks so much for zooming. I need to run for a bit. Hope Dawn makes an appearance soon. Smiles

Okay what was that noise? Sounds like fireworks, except there's no blast at the end.

Thank you Sue. I've been wanting to change it for a while. Couldn't get it fixed right. So I owe a huge thank you to Sandy for adjusting it for me.

The cams are stuttering just a bit, and since I've looked around quite a bit for Dawn, I think I will take a break. Leaving the cams in these positions, with Dusk (again, I am hoping I have ID'd h/h correctly) still on Ma's short perch. I think the sun should not be a problem in these positions.

Dusk is doing some flapping. Might be getting ready to take off again.

Maybe not. Seems calm again.

Dusk came into the nest and flew up to a branch. Sorry this is blurry.
