A pretty good day today.
I first spotted Milton who landed on an antenna on the NE corner of the Court House. He took off towards the nest site but I couldn’t see anything. Once the traffic died down a bit I heard calling coming from the nest area but still couldn’t see anything. Then Milton popped up, did his hunchback walk along the ledge then down again. Then more calling. It sounded like more than one PG was there. Sure enough a different PG pops up, does a hunchback walk then back down again. More calling; sounded kinda like a small dog barking; a vocalization new to me. After about 15 minutes the female flys up a ledge and feeds off a cache. Milton flys to the West and is followed by the female who drops her leftovers into the trees.
So I can tell this female is not Courtney as it is a full adult. I also don’t think it is Truss since the colour is a bit off and I can’t see any bands on it. Time will tell!! Photos to follow.
Stay tuned………
