Hello Debs and JudyL Been awhile..... Nice to see Marcus-A84 still around and you guys too I've been trying to find other productive things to do with my time now that the Empty Nest Syndrome is in the works...really hate this time of year for my own selfishness...miss the buzz of activity, but it's a great time for the birds, so nice we are able to get updates on these precious birds after they've long fledged the nest!

I'll still check in, Love being able to connect with you friends as well....and another season is just over the horizon and we'll all be together again Take care everyone!

Hi there Debbie. I sure do miss Marcus, as it has been awhile now since he has been seen. It is always special checking in and seeing that you have visited.

Evening PH Friends

Hard to believe September is just around the corner...ENS has certainly taken hold.

I have been watching the cam periodically since my last post but have not seen any activity at the nest.

So glad to hear A84 has been seen in the area by the IWS crew and teams; I think extra mentoring and coaching post fledge is just as important as the time in the nest.

Nancy Thanks for the reminder to order the HWF calendars now to avoid disappointment!
JL Thanks for the links I always catch up at CHIL too
Debbie I try to enjoy this time of the year to get some work done that is neglected during the nesting season

Friends; see you all soon

I have not seen any activity at the nest any time I checked.
I hope our family is enjoying their time off the nest.

According to IWS reports A84 was spotted soaring the thermals along side some other juvies (the Sauces kids) now how sweet is that

Here is the link to the IWS report that provides more details

Thanks Helen and to the entire IWS team for another great report and breathing taking captures.... so much!!

It sure sounds like A84 Marcus has started his independent journey as a young juvenile and we certainly wish him all the very best.
Ma and Pa PH I hope you both are enjoying some down time ... you certainly deserve it
