I saw that LIVE
Mom ate and ate like she hadnt eaten in a month!
She ate a long time before she even looked at Newman,
then she gave him a quiet little glance.
Newman was a gentleman, just stood sweetly.

Carson at Rock Ledge Diner - under nestbox!
5 am Jun 22 Sataday
Dawn breaks and Mom is balanced on a small ledge no wider than she, surveying her kingdom - awaiting the call of her remaining young.

And there it is!
Carson calling for fooooooooooooood

6.20 am Michele feeding Carson - I only saw his legs & tail
He's flying.
He must be sooooo happy!

Like yesterday, I am not hearing Carson at all today. Not sure of his status.

The early morning interaction on the ledge under the nest box appears to have been bonding. There was soft whining followed by e-chupping. The tail has no white on it to be a juvie. Newman was very busy this morning checking out different ledges with an overhang as potential future nest sites. He was scraping and calling Michelle to join him and take a look. Kira's decomposing body in the nest box, which is probably full of maggots by now, may be enticing them to reaffirm their bonds away from the box.

Interaction on ledge under nest box...appears to be bonding. E-chupping heard. Adult is circled with head on the left and white throat visible.
Image

Tail of adult..no white juvie spots.
Image

Newman investigating another ledge this morning.
Image

...and he was creating a scrape there.
Image

...and this is where it is located.
Image

Newman finds yet a 3rd ledge and calls Michelle to check it out.
Image

Michelle arrives and bows. Newman moved inside the cubby out of view.
Image

Michelle goes inside the cubby and Newman moves to the entrance. In this pic, Michelle is coming out to leave. She is on the left and Newman is on the right bowing to her.

Yes I saw one of them scraping - I call it swimming - on the ledge.
It made me wonder if they'll consider nesting elsewhere there on the bluff.

I heard Carson at dawn today - unmistakable.

Nice images! :spring1:

Yup Shep....I do hear him. Very briefly....maybe 5 seconds worth of intermittent calling. About 5 AM central time. I am glad he is still with us. I was getting concerned. Unfortunately, I do not have a recorder on my computer. Carson may be flying, since his voice is loud and drifts off. Michelle has been MIA since this morning, while Newman is down below in the dead tree. I suspect Michelle is with Carson....wherever that may be.

I have a feeling Carson is on the other side of the bluff, where the kids from this pair have ended up before. Newman is holding the fort near the nest site while Michelle is often out of site and probably keeping an eye on Carson. Smart bird parents move their kids away from the nest vicinity, which is an attraction for predators.

yesterday morning, when all was fairly quiet , I thought I heard a youngster. early morning.

he could be almost anywhere. cam cant catch everything, but it is sure trying.
and if they have gone to other side before, this is al possible.

I hear him periodicly
His call is different - he isnt in the same location
presumably that means he is flying
This is the first year we havent seen the fledglings playing

I am REALLY glad we can see him!
I believe I've seen Dad lure him out over toward the river,
round n round
Saw Dad with bloody prey - he took off toward the river-
a falcon followed - presumably Carson
Reminds me of an old song lol

fun times

Mom laid 4 eggs, and Carson has no playmate, Sad
