The Rowdy Boys Wednesday Morning!
Got your text asking about the boys. Sorry I didn’t e-mail or text you yesterday-just too tired. Anyway, I saw both the boys as I drove down the street just past the Forrester Building. The were again both on the roof of the Southwest side of the ICICI building. I just had time to park and the fun began immediately.
First one started to fly over to the DeBeers building but then Mom was spotted approaching ICICI coming right at him so his brother took off after him too, both flying to meet Mom with much squawking. I saw that Mom had a small food parcel and she flew right PAST THEM!
The boys were really upset and the squawking go much louder as they quickly turned around and started chasing Mom. I laughed and laughed by myself in the parking lot (wonder if anyone watching thought I was nuts!) The look on their faces when Mom went by was just precious and their vocalizations told it all! Well the big chase was on-Mom with two of them screaming and chasing twice around the ICICI building. On the third time around one of the boys tired out and landed one the next ledge west of the nest ledge. The other continued the chase but by the time he came around again, he had lost Mom. He landed on the DeBeers ledge (the same as the nest ledge) directly opposite his brother. This was Ben.
Ben flew over to Len and obviously was upset with him as he tried to land right on top of him and they screamed at each other with Ben then flying back to his perch on DeBeers. I then saw Mom in the distance flying away and watched her land all the way at the Forrester Building on the roof. I must have missed something walking back to my truck as the sun was very hot. Ben was still on DeBeers but Len was gone. I drove to the back of the lot to look at the nest ledge and saw fluff flying up out the the nest. I’m pretty sure Mom somehow got the food to Len and he was down in the nest cleaning and eating his breakfast. Mom was probably on the hunt for more breakfast for herself and Ben.
At this point I was so hot as there was no breeze at all so it was time to go home. I hope this makes sense as I’m fighting to stay awake. Lousy sleep yesterday-only 3 hours. I will try to stop by again tomorrow morning.
Take care,
Irma
PS: Saw the boys and an adult from the DVP on the way home this morning!
