St. John on Sunday

Everyone was accounted for on Sunday, but it took some real effort to find everyone. The father was on a low branch behind the church playground along Morningside Drive. Above him was one of the fledglings.

The father then caught and gutted a rodent. He went off with it, but I’m not sure who he gave it to.

He didn’t give it to the one fledgling we had found however.

We then found the outgoing fledgling on the north side of the Cathedral.

As I was leaving to go home, a passer-by helped me find the third fledgling at the base of Morningside Drive above a construction trailer.

St. John Fledglings All Accounted For

On Friday, about an hour after I had left, Robert found the third fledgling. On Saturday, I was able to see all three too.

There was one precocious fledgling, and then two who fledged later. This is one of the two reluctant ones.

This is the other reluctant one. Both seemed much shyer than the outgoing first fledgling.

Two of the three new St. John’s Fledglings

I’m just catching up with posting images from the weekend. These are from Friday.

Divine Fledglings

I’ll have more pictures up later, but I wanted to quickly share portraits of our three new St. John the Divine fledglings…

Trinity

The St. John the Divine eyasses have grown up. The three of them “posed” for pictures late on Friday evening.

St. John the Divine

I went up to visit on Saturday and all was well. The eyasses are now much more active and visible. They’re at the stage were they enjoy sitting near the edge of the nest and keeping an eye on the world.

I couldn’t stay long. The mother was on a finial near the nest and the eyasses were using both sides of the nest to look out. (This makes it difficult to watch them as one has to walk half a block to get a clear view of the left side.)
