Sue McCreadie Reports:
Bill and I were at Fruitland on Saturday and again today. The birds are still using the tower as their home base. When we arrived today, no one was home. About a half hour later, both birds flew in and Mom went to the tower and Dad went to the drum where he sat chirping and looking down at Mom. I was hoping that they might copulate and try for a second clutch of eggs. Didn’t see it happen. They are out of the drum for long periods so I think it is safe to say that the nest has failed. Mom doesn’t seem to go to the drum at all. It’s only Dad. He sits on the edge looking out and surveying his “Kingdom”. Another interesting thing we have noticed is that they never hunt around the tower. I don’t know where they go, but we have never seen them hunt. They have brought prey in and eaten it in the tower.
