#WestEnd, Catalina Island, CA: #Akecheta and Haku kept watch when an adult visitor settled up top. Never a dull moment in this territory. Hoping this visitor passes through and that peace is maintained.

The courtship continues as #Akecheta & Haku meet more often at the nest. They also retired to the night perch. We wish Akecheta well with this new, larger than life young female. #WestEnd Catalina Island, CA

Haku devoured a big ol' vermilion rockfish on the nest before meeting #Akecheta on the far tor. Later they met on the night perch. Seems they spent much of the day together & likely roosted together overnight.

#Akecheta & Haku roosted on the same perch overnight for the first time. They greeted the dawn with long, glorious chortles and then settled atop the far TOR on a sparkling blue sky, blue sea morning.

Haku, Bob, AND #Akecheta all gathered together to perch atop the #WestEnd overlook. Three generations ~ as peaceful as could be. Where the story goes, no one knows.
