Marion Nash Reports:
Without all the strong wind that we had over the last couple days Piper is gaining and keeping altitude no problem. She made several good flights last evening and at 6:30 She flew off the lower level around the building chasing Linn who had food and landed on the 10th floor west side gaining 9 floors heigt. When Linn flew off with the food to the east she followed her and landed on the east side 11th floor. Linn then flew off again heading west and landing on the building we call the Kitchen about a block from the nest where she likes to prep food. A few seconds later Piper flew off the east side ,hooked around to the west, gained roof top altitude, found Linn and landed beside her on the kitchen and Linn fed her there. After she had her fill they both stayed there until 9:00 and then we watched Linn fly off and back to the same spot a few times with some of the leftover food in her talons trying to get Piper to fly back home with her but Piper was happy to stay where she was. Linn gave up and settled down with Piper on the Kitchen to watch over her for the night and by 9:30 we packed up and headed home. It was a good day I know now that Piper is capable of gaining and keeping altitude and she has proven twice now that she can get off the ground on her own should she make a mistake and come down and has no problem making multiple flights so we are moving on to daily spot checks. I have posted a couple pictures of the Kitchen you can just make out 2 black bumps on the top of the glass that is Linn and Piper. Sorry only had my phone camera
