Good morning Ken, I was at the nest at 9:10am and observed both adults perched above the nest. They both went into the nest, moved some branches and the female resumed her perch, while, the male layed down in the nest. Phil ![]() I got there around 10:00 AM with one participant after leading the walk at Chapel Trail Nature Preserve and found Luis still observing the female (Jewel) roosting in the tree on the corner of SW 208th & Pines. Note her very long rear toe (hallux) as well as her full body shape which help distinguish her from her smaller mate (Pride) who has a more tapered body shape as well as a shorter hallux: ![]() ![]() Luis said that Pride was roosting out of sight deeper in the woods to the SW of this tree.
