I'm sure it is just my imagination, but I have been thinking this brood is a little behind other years in capturing their own prey. Maybe one of our historian types has some dates from the past as to when they were successful at their own hunting.

I don't have any stats, but it seems on schedule to me. It takes forever for them to really develop their hunting skills, just from what I read at various sites from watchers on the ground. Girls are probably ever slower too, I bet. And probably the number of offspring makes a difference too. We can count of Lil' Dad to know the right training required and they will be ready on time.

Thanks, ljames.

Lil' Dad sitting in the scrape.

ljames · **Posted:** Mon Jul 01, 2013 7:55 pm

Sitting on the stick now. I keep thinking that I hear a juvie pass by every now and then.

Just coming on here and it was nice to see an adult sitting at the scrape. The rain has stopped in Wilm., but still dark and more rain expected. We have had an overall rainfall of 13".

Thanks for posting what i'm seeing ljames. I now have to go back and read today's messages.

From what I've observed on my trips downtown, the juvies certainly are hunting their own prey right now. But even adults strike out, too. Nice to see Lil Dad standing in front of the scrape at the moment.

I TOO THINK THEY ARE RIGHT ON SCHEDULE. WE ALWAYS SAID THEY WOULD DISPERSE THE END OF JULY, BEGINNING OF AUGUST, SO THEY HAVE PLENTY OF TIME YET :-)

BEFORE WE KNOW IT, THEY WILL BE TOTALLY GONE AND WE WILL REALLY MISS THEM :-(

IT IS NICE TO TUNE IN AND SEE LIL DAD THERE :-)

CAN'T REALLY SAY I SAW NIECEY TODAY, BUT I SPENT ALOT OF TIME WITH A MIGRAINE TODAY WHICH IS STILL HERE :-(

LIL DAD IS STILL THERE AND HAS NOW MOVED TO THE STICK. WONDER WHERE EVERYONE ELSE IS?

LIL DAD WAS GONE A MIN OR TWO LATER. GUESS HE WENT TO SEE WHERE EVERYONE ELSE WAS :-)

LIL DAD'S ON THE POINT.

AFTER 1/2 HOUR, LIL DAD IS STILL THERE. LOOKING ALL AROUND. GUESS EVERYONE UP AND LEFT HIM. SURE WOULD LIKE TO SEE NIECEY THIS MORNING, DIDN'T SEE HER AT ALL YESTERDAY.

OK, RIGHT AFTER I TYPED THAT PART, LIL DAD FLEW UP TO THE SCRAPE AND IS IN THE SCRAPE NOW, AND THEN WENT TO THE STICK TO WAIT.

Well, looks like "ole times" with Lil Dad on the stick as always. No one else around at the moment. A real awakening to the months ahead. :girlsad3:

Thanks for the early report Reenie. I too hope you see Niecey.

Juvie made a visit. On and off! Cam wasn't right view. Must have chased Lil Dad. Sounds like She's back while typing this.

WELL A JUVIE JUST SHOWED UP, NOT SURE, BUT PRETTY SURE IT PROBABLY CHASED LIL DAD OFF THE STICK. IT WASN'T ON THE LEDGE LONG UNTIL I SAW IT FLY OFF TOWARDS THE UNIV. LOOKED LIKE IT WENT UNDER THE ROOF BY THE RAILS AND OUT THE TOP OPEN PART OF THE ROOF HEADING FOR THE RIVER. BY THE SOUND OF THE JUVIE, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WG.

JUVIE CAME SCREAMING BACK AND NOW ON THE LEDGE.

LOL!!! I knew you would have it right Reenie. LOL!! Eyes right there!!!!

Jane · **Posted:** Tue Jul 02, 2013 8:50 am

Falcon on the stick right now. Can't tell if it's Niecey or one of the girls, as it's facing away from the cam. And now it took off towards the church. Adult on the point. I'm confused about which one, but I'm thinking Lil Dad.

WELL DARN, I MISSED THE ONE ON THE STICK. MAYBE A JUVIE? THAT IS LIL DAD ON THE POINT. HE'S MAKING ME NERVOUS SPENDING SO MUCH TIME ON THE LEDGE THIS MORNING AND I DIDN'T SEE NIECEY ONCE YET :-(

I'M HOPING LIL DAD TOOK CARE OF LIL MAN AND IS NOW LETTING THE GIRLS UP TO NIECEY AND THAT'S WHY SHE'S A NO SHOW. I SURE WOULD LOVE TO SEE A BONDING SESSION ABOUT NOW!

LIL DAD LEFT FOR A COUPLE OF MINS, BUT NOW HE'S BACK ON THE POINT LOOKING AND LOOKING AGAIN........

REENIE · **Joined:** Sun Jul 26, 2009 6:57 pm **Posts:** 19893

LIL DAD LEFT AGAIN, BUT THEN RETURNED. ON THE POINT AGAIN SEARCHING ALL AROUND.

ljames · **Posted:** Tue Jul 02, 2013 12:06 pm

Lil' Dad, I think, on the shield and WG, I think on the other end. She ran down the ledge looking like the cape crusader with wings all out and of course, chased Lil' Dad off.
