Friday May 16th - 2014
I finally got a chance to get back to the Scarborough nest site today on Milner to check up on Rueben and Linn’s progress and the status on their four eggs. Upon our arrival, Rueben was observed on the nest ledge flashing and Linn was nowhere to found, (at least when we first arrived)! I was able to see three eggs on the nest ledge. After a few quick photos of Rueben to confirm his identity via his leg band numbers, we made our way down the isle way to the exit door, and we then met Linn.

Out of know where, Linn appeared, and I can tell you that she was not exactly happy to see us. She was quickly joined by Rueben where they roosted briefly on a small communications in front of us allowing me an opportunity and then asked us to leave. Well, Ok, they encouraged us to leave, and leave quickly we did.

In a matter of seconds, we were stopped and dived upon more that half dozen times by both adults and pretty glad that we were able to exit as soon as we did. After reviewing some of the photos later in the evening, I was able to re-confirm via her leg band numbers that Linn is still the resident adult female on site.
Finger crossed, they will have a hatch in a few days.
Stay tuned…………….
