LIL DAD CAME FLYING AND SQUAWKING FROM OVER AT THE LOUVERS TO THE LEDGE THIS MORNING AND LANDED ON THE STICK ABOUT 5:50AM.

NOW MOM'S ON THE POINT CLEANING HER BEAK AND LIL DAD SITTING IN FRONT OF THE SCRAPE. MAYBE TIME FOR YOU KNOW WHAT?

They are both in the scrape now. I saw Lil Dad flying up to the ledge near the stick, but of course wasn't fast enough to capture it! :loveshow:

OMG, that was pretty awesome, you could see Lil Dad flying in to land right on Mom.
:arrhrt:

Here's my picture, so does not tell the story. You can barely see Lil Dad right above/behind her and to the right.

LOOKS LIKE MOM IS GONE NOW, SHE WAS ON THE SHIELD FOR A WHILE. LIL DAD IS STILL ON THE POINT BEING BLOWN AROUND.

I heard her alarm call just before she left...nice catch earlier, ljames!

Mom must have taken care of whatever upset her & returned, cause I just heard them canoodling (off camera)!

TURNS OUT MOM ISN'T GONE AT ALL, SHE'S SITTING ON THE CORNER AROUND THE COLUMN. I GUESS THAT COLUMN BLOCKS SOME OF THE WIND FOR HER.

MOM'S BEEN HANGING OUT AROUND THE COLUMN. AT ONE POINT SHE FLEW OFF THE LEDGE WITH A PIECE OF LEFTOVERS AND WENT OVER THERE TO EAT. LOOKED LIKE JUST BONES WITH A LITTLE MEAT ON THEM. WASTE NOT, WANT NOT I GUESS :lol:

MOM IS ON ONE CORNER AROUND THE COLUMN AND LIL DAD IS ON THE POINT. LEDGE IS BEING WELL GUARDED. PICTURE LATER.

I just heard them doing it again on a lower ledge. In fact I saw Lil Dad kinda hop from the point and fly downward and I swear I thought, looks like he is fixing to mate with Mom again and sure enough a couple of seconds later I heard it. :lol:

ljames · **Posted:** Mon Mar 01, 2010 5:03 pm

Just heard them mating again. Last I saw Lil Dad he was running down the edge of the ledge toward Mom in the scrape, but I don't think they mated in the scrape because I saw one of them flying, had to be Lil Dad only seconds before.

HERE'S THE PICTURE FROM EARLIER OF MOM AND LIL DAD GUARDING THE LEDGE, ONE ON EACH END. THAT'S MOM AROUND THE COLUMN AND LIL DAD ON THE POINT. I'LL POST A COUPLE MORE PICS OF THEM IN MY USUAL SPOT IN A FEW MINUTES.
