Morning nightowl!
Naoma, those closeups are just beautiful.

Lori, don't you just love that the jogger does not even faze EZ.
You hang in there today and be super careful with that dangerously high heat.

Looked in at 6 AM and the chatters said this was # 3. She flew off to Rice Hall next and has been there since.


6:27 AM


Have treatment this morning, so won't be much help. Just going to enjoy them when I can. It has been a real treat that they are spending so much time back at the nest.

Ezra just delivered a chipmunk to the nest platform and stood waiting until somebody (I think #3) came down from the upper platform to get it. She charged Ezra and drove him right off the platform and mantled it

Morning all.....

10:28......chat sez it's Baby still @ the nest. She's resting quietly.

ostrich........ she chased EZ off the nest after he brought her a chippie. for that laugh!


11:06.... Still resting, but alert. Just called out rather quietly, compared to what we heard yesterday.


I'm B&F again today. Temp is 85 @ Cornell & it's windy.

5:20 PM Peeked in to see # 3 at the nest. It is 91 F in Ithaca.


5:25 PM hot and sleepy?


5:28 PM she grabbed chipmunk and guarded it and then one of her sibs came in so we know why she grabbed food. He left after a minute.

howdy doooo everybody! I survived another killer day here today just barely

thanks for being here you guys! I just checked in to see EZ's mini me #2 on the grass then on the fence. He had just finished eating something

so great to see the sweet wild child, we don't get to so much
