I think I can live with that.
Meantime, on the peregrine scene, Kekoa left dinner with his sister and mother on a tower at San Jose State University early in order to claim his window ledge first. Maya ate awhile longer, and when she came in, flew to a louver several floors below him. Hmph! *I* can have my *own* window, so there! With the camera looking straight down from above, the tip of her tail showed.
But then her beak, and then all the sudden her wings and tail were spread wide and she was flying out of there. She circled just out of view, clearly, because she almost immediately reappeared next to her brother.
She gave him a push from behind. Just, you know, to see. Window? Corner?
NO. MINE. I got here first.
Oh okay, be that way, and she settled down for the night next to him. But notice, no feather pulling, no beaking, no running a talon through his tail.
If only my kids had learned to behave that much that fast!
