Good morning, everyone!

7:21 am
From the dvr, Brit flew off at 6:53 am, and I'm not seeing any visits since then.

I will be away from the computer until 1-2 pm; will have my phone to check for messages.

Have a good day, everyone!

12:57 pm checked the rollback and didn't see any visits to the nest since Judy's last post. Logging into the cams to do a quick check. 1:04 pm off the cams. Didn't see anyone one scrolling around.

Adult just landed on the nest and is doing some work on the nest cup. I haven't seen enough of the adult yet to know which one it is.

HI Judy, this is Brit. She finds some leftovers after digging in the nest.

Thanks, Sandy! I sort of suspected that it might be when Rey arrived with a stick while she was trying to have a snack! (3:38 pm)

Rey flew off at 3:41.

3:44 pm
Brit is standing on the nest, looking around.

Both adults landed calling. I think Rey brought in a mouse or rat, which Brit promptly claimed.

She is beginning to work on the meal, while he does a bit of work on the nest, keeping an eye on the food in case she needs "help"! :%:


I'm in the middle of something, but will try to peek in.

Rey flew off at 7:17 pm; Brit continues working on the food.

7:29 pm - Brit has finished her meal and is puttering around on the nest.
