7:49 they just flew off but not too far because I can still hear the jays harassing them. I can't find them on the south cam though.

Good morning Marianne! I love that hymn also, it is one of my favorites. I have to leave in a few minutes so I will leave the south cam on the nest.

Morning everyone. Happy there was a nest visit this morning...and have been wondering if Mom/Dad will bring prey to eat in the nest..

Yoiks! 9:40am That just happened! Dad arrived with a large hunk of prey and is already being harassed by one or more jays...

Dad was keeping his talons firmly on the prey...which is a huge frog, but the jay was too much for him and actually drove him off the nest. Dad took the frog with him. Hopefully, Dad will find a more peaceful place to have his breakfast. Too bad!

ADD: When Dad flew off with his prey...the jay followed him.

I am on the NPTZ for a little while and will keep it on the 'long view' for now...maybe we will see Mom or Dad flying ...

Mom mantled the prey while Dad flew to the runway and then off the nest.

Hi Gail...they sure have! That was a very large frog...I wonder if Mom and Dad are getting them by the river...or maybe in the water traps on the golf course?

ADD: Mom flew off the nest at 10:33am and I lost her...
