Harrison Mills Observation and Discussion Nest thread ..2018--2019

[Yolande]

There wasn't too much excitement, Bev - sometime I think they are avoiding each other..LOL

I just came back to return the NPTZ to the right position...

LOL I agree Yolande ... question is " will there be eggs on this nest" ?

We can always hope! JMO - she doesn't really seem to be 'into nest building activities'... Fingers crossed... There are constant surprises on the nests ....LOL

[Yolande]

Thanks so much, Heather and thank-you for your great coverage of the visit!

Just saw the visitor come back to the nest at 8:20pm ...twittering.

But she didn't stay long...

Think she went to the little branch stub at the side of the nest...She seems to like that perch...

ADD: I checked that perch on the SPTZ at 8:27pm and she wasn't there...too dark at Mom and Dad's perch to see anything!

[Yolande]

Goodness! Now again at 8:29pm and here for less than a minute...

She went to the side branch again and flew back across the nest at 8:30pm

Night everyone and thank-you for today!
