I hadn’t seen either of the two fledglings since July 30th so I was pretty excited to see one atop Judson Memorial Church tonight. It had a full crop so it was no surprise it sat in the same place the three hours I was with it. It was digesting and relaxing but not without a little Peregrine Falcon drama at one point.
An adult in the distance could have been Rosie but it was too difficult to tell who it was (whether Rosie or Bobby):
