Life is Good Here!

Kathy Reports:
Went down to the nest site this morning for a few hours to check on our resident family. The first 15 minutes or so were quite, in fact I thought they must have flown off for a family day or maybe to celebrate July 4th with their American cousins!
It didn’t take long for Elena to come screaming into the area…she is flying like an adult now! She was diving, gliding, chasing her brother perry, trying to knock him off his perch. Both were having a great time, they even locked talons in the air. At one point I was up in the tower on the 17th floor and I saw her flying upside down..she was spectaculor!!!
Our litte Mackenzie seems to be living the life of a loner. I found him tucked into a ledge on the opposite side of the nestbox and he did take a short flight over to check on his siblings but then decided he was going to go hang out on mom’s webcam perch.
Mom came zooming in and kept trying to get him to give her spot back but he was having none of it. In fact he promptly turned around with his back to her as if to ignore her and started preening…kids!!!
No sign of the resident male the entire time I was there.
