The moon was full this morning and not really where I would have liked it to be when i got to the nest. That is because someone slept in.... I wonder who that could have  been? ..Hmmmm
Well I did get a few photo's but  they didn't come out right so more on night time shots. I then turned my attention to who was where in the nest. Now from my angle and looking up at the nest tree, It looked like PB was next to Harriet and E6 on the attic branch. Morning vocals from all and then some..LOL Harriet leaves the nest tree and headed ENE back behind the Church. PB flies over to the R-pond tree and does some more vocals. Then he leaves flying past us headed more eastward towards the river. E6 playing around in the nest tree. Looked like at one point he tried to get some pine needles.E6 goes up a little higher in the tree and is looking around up there at the pine needles . I thought to myself , hmm is he going to get some nesting materials ?   E6 then heads over to the old cam 2 tree. E6 flies to the R-pond tree then down to the pond. It's a little bit foggy over the pond area so I didn't go to the other side. E6 is done playing at the pond and flies back to the R-pond tree and just sits there ..lol
The next thing I know E6 is off like a flash headed what I thought at first ..was over the road but he was making a wide turn around the nest and just a squeeing. From out of the conere of my eye I see Harriet coming in from Bob's way. I'm still focused on E6 so I didn't know what Harriet had if anything until both of them landed in the nest and Ice texted me that it was a fish. Harriet didn't stay long and off she went back towards the NW. Amazing how E6 spotted Harriet and was making his way to the nest before she even made it into the nest area. E6 eats his fish then goes up to the branch just above the attic branch. Does some looking around then goes up higher in the nest tree. E6's confidence is amazing . In just a few short weeks , E6 has learned so much. It's a joy to watch him as each new days passe's. I wonder to myself ,what will be next , which way will he go, when will he take that first real bath? So many more things for E6 to learn. I watch him grip and tear off bark from the pond tree limbs or hop from branch to branch. When at the pond , how he plays"attack the prey " with whatever he finds or with  Horse poop.  Last night while watching the cam, E6 attacked that small being of a palm so fiercely , I laughed so hard just watching him. I told E6 ( I know he didn't hear me ) that I can't even pull them things out of the ground.
E6 looks around then takes off for the snag tree just past the old cam 2 tree . Looks around some more then heads to what seems to be his favorite tree now , the R-pond tree.There he gets to playing around and also gets the attention of a Mocking Bird which might have a nest close by. E6 jumps on a small branch that has an air plant on it and it looks like he was trying to get it off. The Mockingbird is dive bombing E 6 now.





































After playing with the air plant and avoiding the Mockingbird ,E6 decides to head over to the Church tree for some peace and quiet.

E6 stayed there for a few hours then back to the R-pond tree , then back to the church tree. I left not to long after that .
