Comments on: Meet Me At The Tent http://www.wqed.org/birdblog/2010/05/25/meet-me-at-the-tent-3/ A Bird Blog with Kate St. John Sat, 25 May 2013 03:00:29 +0000 hourly 1 By: Kate St. John http://www.wqed.org/birdblog/2010/05/25/meet-me-at-the-tent-3/comment-page-1/#comment-9722 Kate St. John Fri, 28 May 2010 22:10:41 +0000 http://www.wqed.org/birdblog/?p=19560#comment-9722 It was great to meet everyone today. We had a great time & the rain held off.

The peregines were most active between noon and 1:00pm because it was so hot after that. To tell the truth we felt a little wilted ourselves by 2pm.

None of the youngsters have fledged yet but three of them were up on the nestrail and one perched in the keyhole. Their parents brought food twice during our time there. Thanks to Mary DeV’s telescope we had really good looks at all the birds.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s Fledge Watch: 8:00am to 11:00am. Hope to see you there!

And it was great to meet Kate, NDPeter, and the rest (sorry, names are escaping me at the moment!) I’ll come back tomorrow morning & bring the optics again. And a decent camera if I can scrounge one up — the cell-phone cam just isn’t quite cutting it! But here’s E2 on the lightning rod, if you can see him.

Last year I had really crappy ones and people were kind enough to lend me theirs, so I plan on returning the favor this year!!

Binoculars really make the difference!!

The birds are up high and it’s easier to see them with binoculars.

It is doubtful it flew yet.
