mamafrog:
The lights on the KJRH tower seem to be darker tonight. On Broadway, when a star dies, they dim the lights. Somehow it seems fitting that the tower lights are dim tonight - the stars have left our lives. Perhaps there will be a revival of the play next year. Maybe it is time for a new thread?

I agree Mamafrog

The curtain has closed on this chapter of Jay, Kays and our lives.

Time to start a new one just as they have.

Hey, mamfrog. Didn't realize I was duplicating your report. I should've refreshed the page before I posted.

That is so good to hear and it would be a spine chilling sight to see. Congrats to them and thanks so much for the report!

Here's what someone in chat just reported, from a 3:30 pm sighting:

OkieRedBud: My granddaughter and I drove over 30 miles over to Brookside. we sat and watched the tower hoping to spot them. Finally, they both came up over Peoria from the west side from the trees over there!

From Okieredbud in the chat My granddaughter and I drove over 30 miles over to Brookside. we sat and watched the tower hoping to spot them. Finally, they both came up over Peoria from the west side from the trees over there! We were so relieved to see that they seemed to be OK and were still together. we felt like we had seen movie stars! It was about 3:00 this afternoon (or 3:30) Bob asked how sure she was that it was Kay and Jay Very sure. One had a very light *** (as Jay has been described) and one had the brown on the *** (as Kay has been described). Also, they flew very low and towards the tower.

....Does Jay not have a belly band, or am I just not seeing it in the picture?

Well I be darned...I thought all adult RTHs had distinct belly bands. Thanks again. Learned something again! They are so beautiful! I miss seeing them in the nest..so much.

sallyls:
I couldn't find a picture off hand of Jay an Kay together facing the camera though I know someone has posted one in the past, but this is Jay. He has a very faint belly band compared to Kay's

Thanks, Sally...I see now. I hadn't noticed it before.

bobdmac:
Wings, Jay's belly band is a lot lighter than Kay's. That's one of the best ways of distinguishing them.

Ok thanks...

catgirl:
9:00 am Spot a hawk in a tree at 36th and St. Louis. I park and try to find an angle to see who it is, as their back is to the sun, and lots of tree branches in the way. Just as I get under the hawk, it takes off. I snap a few pictures as it circles overhead and then disappears over buildings to the south. I did not have any more sightings on my way back home.
Tis Jay and he has a full crop.

Catgirl I can never say "Thank you" enough. Jay looks wonderful in these pictures. I can only hope Kay is OK also!!
