Not much to report since Sunday's fun.

Here is the latest:

I put an update from yesterday on my website:  www.danhaas.com/June25th

I went to my Annapolis-side viewing location this morning and Mom
Falcon was there at 9:45 AM perched on the top edge of the 7th pier
out from the Annapolis side.  She flew once for a quick bit and came
back to the same spot.  This time, she perched so that her bands were
clearly visible. At 9:50 AM, she flew again, this time not returning.
I left about 10:05 AM, as my dog had a vet appointment.

And I just now returned from my 12-12:40 PM falcon check up from the
Arnold-side of the bridge.  This time, there was no sign of the trio
of falcons anywhere.  I think it's either the heat and humidity
driving them to a shady perch under the bridge (and limited activity),
or maybe that chick is out and about with the parents?  Either way,
I'm taking it as a good sign.

Anyone with any extensive knowledge of Peregrine nesting behavior at
this stage, feel free to email me off list.

I will return for one more check just before my gig this evening.  I
will post updates on my website.

And, I'm also keeping an eye out for these ducks.  How cool... I am
hopeful that they'll make themsevles present again soon.

Good birding,

Dan Haas
West Annapolis
