I think Gregg may be right. I biked under the flying, crying birds today at about noon. There were climbers in the vicinity, but the birds were flying over a forested area between the rock climbing areas, and they were interacting with each other fairly intensely. It occurred to me that one of them might be a juvie.

> I was up there this morning. My theory is there are a adult and fledgling that are flying around the climbing wall. The screeming and flying around is the kid trying to be fed. For whatever reason they have decided to park Junior right next to the trail and climbing walls. Where the eyre is located is anyone guess. There is a lot of places where it could be. There is no active nest, only Junior. I have some pictures of Junior but I think that's what's going on. Gregg Thompson
