6/24, St. John the Divine

The start of an extremely pleasant Tuesday found one of the cathedral hawk fledglings perched on a chimney atop the Cathedral House.

A slight breeze up there.

Lots of head wiggling as the fledge eyed anything and everything that passed by below.

But he was in no rush to go anywhere.

About 7:00 he did perk and decide to make a move. Took off toward the other end of the Cathedral House, then re-appeared heading for the cathedral apse roof. But was it the same bird coming back?

Hopped around the apse a bit, checking the skies to the east and southeast.

Then flew back west to the nave roof.

The new spot was a good position to be close to the crossing arch, one of mama Isolde's preferred food drop-off locations.

Assuming mama Isolde was going to deliver an evening meal.

Belatedly I discovered the other healthy fledge on the other side of the close, perched atop the Diocese House, and also keeping an eye out for mama.

Waiting, waiting.
