#Chase and #Cholyn each brough fish to the nest, 2 hours apart. Cholyn lingered till late afternoon, chatting remotely with Chase. Always special to see these 27-year-olds on camera.

#Cholyn enjoyed some "me" time by the sea before meeting #Chase for an afternoon on their couch. An uninvited guest flew by, maybe a juvenile eagle, a brief disturbance.

#Cholyn enjoyed time by the seaside while #Chase went fishing and caught himself a whopper. They chatted across the habitat and then came together on their nighttime roost.

At Two Harbors, #Cholyn and #Chase were relaxing till a Peregrine Falcon zipped by. They moved to the nest & kept watch. Fortunately there were no further PEFA disruptions.
