Ann Brokelman reports:

A visit to the nest today. What we originally thought was Kendal having a wonderful time soaring around the nest and showing off for Quest, turned out to be a juvenile that was banded black over black with green tape over his USFW band. This was learned only after studying pictures. Unfortunately all we could see of the colour band was the rivets and where the band was gathered, so no ID can be made. There are a limited number of birds this could be, and we will be trying to locate this bird again for a positive identification.

Quest was very busy preening beside the nest ledge.

The Guest did a beautiful fly by for Donna and I and then was gone.

What a thrill.
