10:03 (nest time)

Finished eating entire prey. Hopped up to railing at 6, then to beam at 9, then onto outer deck (9). Wing flapping. Very close to edge of deck. Hopping and wing flapping, going close to edge then back a little with tail on beam at 9. Then up to rail at 6 facing camera. Looking up at something above... then below. Picking at feet. Lookikng below. Teetering, picking at feet. In a very active mode. Nap and food - energized! Wings spread... Back to 9 ledge. Much wing flapping.... Looking all around. Back to rail at 7. Looking very much like about to leave soon...

Looked like it lol......reminds me of "Jumping Jack Flash" the way them wings are going!!

Correction on my last post... Nest time would have been 12:03,, not California time! Sorry.

Now nest time is 12:13 H back resting in nest bowl. Tuckered out from all the burst of activity.

12:15 Pretty sight...Extending the wings with the wind blowing through them!!

12:29 another food drop

12:26 (nest time)

H went from resting in nest toward 6 to more toward 4. H has been laying down, but head up and alert, looking all around, bobbing head and neck every which way. Small amount of preening.

12:28 stands and repositions toward 2, settling down again. More preening. Up,.... now standing, walking on ankles(?) and resettling toward 3... up, now 4... Seems restless.... Up again. Resettles toward 3..

Must go and get a life, myself! Got stuff to do! aaahh! Surely this bird will fly the coop soon!

12:26 Adult arrives at 3:00 with prey. H jumps onto prey and covers. Adult leaves at 3:00. H standing on prey. Did anyone see? I believe Adult brought prey in with talons instead of beak.

12:30 H steps off prey. Unable to make out what it is. H focusing outside of platform.

12:31 Looking at prey. Jumps to rail  behind pole next to camera.

My screen is not displaying what you all are seeing, evidently. I did not see a drop since the one at 11-something. H has just been back to Oh! Nevermind. Now my screen is showing an adult... looks like Male, dropping off prey from 9... H pounced on it, and is not immediately devouring this time. Just standing on it watching the departed adult out at remote location towards 10-12? ish... Now following with eyes up and toward 7, now 6... Still watching above, and standing on fresh prey.

12:38, now feeding.

I wonder why you guys saw this before my computer saw it...?

12:39 Jumps to platform @ 9:00. Extends wings and turns. Standing on platform at about 11:00.

12:41 Adult arrives @ 3:00...picks at prey. appears to be a bird? H watching from same position.

Kay brought prey into nest bowl and is eating alone..Thunder is watching from back of deck area. No movement as of yet towards parent and food.

12:42  Adult Female lands at 3 - Hawkling on platform at 12.  Adult pickd up carcass and checks it over and looks at over then starts to tear at it and eat.  Hawkling watching and turning head with great intensity.  I believe this to be the remains of the carcass that Thunder was eating.  Did someone see her drop the carcass?  I did not see her with anything when she landed.

Read up  Prey dropped at 12:26.

Socal. I have found that the website video is accurate. When I use Real Player with the link...it is sometimes delayed a few seconds. So, I switch back and forth, when I feel the need.
