The cathedral red-tail fledge apparently spend most of Saturday on the roof of St. Luke's hospital. But when I arrived in the early evening, it had just flown back across the street to St. John's. Several minutes later, eagle-eyed Stella spotted Survivor preening on the eave of the cathedral roof.
Over the next ten or fifteen minutes, he hung around the eave, running up and down a couple times.
Eventually he hopped up to the protective railing. It looked he might settle into a long boring episode of preening, but he started moving around again. Checked behing the mini-tower, came back out on the railing. Dealt with a sudden gust of wind.
Survivor hopped-flew along the railing eastward, moving toward the gable over St. Matthew. Looked pretty good, but the last hop, he didn't stick his landing.
There at the end of the railing he settled in. Dealt with another gust of wind.
But that's where he stayed for at least the next hour or more as sunset approached.
