Good morning Ferenz and NCTC viewers!

WE HAD A FLEDGE THIS MORNING! Talon flew from the attic at 5:41 am. Circled back and landed in the nest tree. Wasn't a perfect landed and a bit of a difficulty. Then flew from the nest tree at 5:44 am.

9:20 am There is a food delivery for Spirit.

9:22 am Good sized fish.

9:40 am There is still fish left.
