Marion Nash Reports:
There was a feeding this afternoon for Dart by the time Mark and I got there Lucie said other than the feeding it was a very quite morning. I suppose after her fledge Tornado needed to get her nerve back and her bearings for the next flight and with a full crop Dart decided a nap was in order.
It rained on and off most of the afternoon and began to hail Dart never budged but Tornado ran and flapped back and forth the ledge yelling clearly hating the hail. After it stoped the sun came out for a short time and she settled down until about 3:30 when she started her hunger tantrum yelling at Mom for food. That lasted until mom could stand no more and took of hunting and in minutes came back with food, dropped it on the ledge at her feet and took back off the her usual spot on top of the web camera.
Just after 5:00 Tornado took to the air for another short flight moving over to the east tower 2 ledges over from the nest. At 5:30 Dart decided to take a flight and was joined by both adults for a niece flight around the east tower and was minutes later joined by his sister. The flight only lasted a minute and brother and sister landed on the east tower Tornado on the roof and Dart on the ledge next to the nest ledge. By 7:30 feeling very confident Tornado took another flight and landed on the roof of the west condo roof next door and sat there while mom brought in a food package for Dart she only stayed a short time and flew again to the east condo roof top.
When we left just after 9:00 PM Dart was still on the ledge beside the nest ledge and Tornado very much the big girl now was still on the east Condo tower roof top.
Lucie has just a few photos from this morning. Tornado on the Starlight ledge, mom preparing food on Starlight, mom takes food to Dart who is on the nest ledge but didn’t get any to Tornado.
