I don't understand the squawking vocalizations yet, and they are pretty uncommon, so it's important to see/hear as many as I can to try to get a better feel of what they're about.

She didn't take it, so he either ate it or cached it (maybe both), then went to the perch on the nest, then left, followed by Iris.<br /><br />At the moment (05:18 PST), at least one of them is somewhere above the camera--there's the occasional tail feather poking in at the top of the frame. <br /><br />It's interesting to see how second-year courtship differs from first year. Think there might be another potential wannabe homewrecker (like Scarlett)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9725321.post-75738888587515249782011-11-19T21:29:54.724-06:002011-11-19T21:29:54.724-06:00Wow, sounds like things are moving right along.I&#...Wow, sounds like things are moving right along.I'm sure everyone will like this new update and will look forward to the time when Iris lays her first egg.
