hello all:

i suppose it's appropriate to have egg on one's face on a birding list, but
whether it is or not, i am obliged to report there are still three chicks in
the nest, not just two. the third was easily seen under today's viewing
conditions (way less mist and bright sunshine) out on the end of the branch
that juts out from the old raptor platform. the bird, the smallest of the
three remaining, made its way back up to the rocks at about 1500. the trek
of the youngster reminded me i haven't seen the latest installment of
indiana jones. there were thrills, chills and near slips into the abyss,
but the kid did make it successfully back, although the two big girls did
their best to make the jaunt challenging (what, you expect me to move,
forget it runt, go around, etc.). occasional bursts of flapping and hopping
by all. maybe tomorrow will be the big day.

regards,

dave tee
