Great pics, clarinda!  I can't wait to see baby TV's!  I have never seen them before.

It was an exceptional experience.  They are spending lots of time together, hopefully eggs on the way.

April 16, 2021, Friday, 4:00 to 5:00 pm --  2 Turkey Vultures --  Marshall MO

A turkey vulture pair was in the loft for approximately an hour, last one left 5:09pm. It was a gentle rainy period.  Again vocalizing in corner nest for most of the time, out of sight.

Great pics, clarinda!  I can't wait to see baby TV's!  I have never seen them before.

They are spending lots of time together, hopefully eggs will follow.

April 17, 2021, Saturday afternoon -- TV Pair  --  Marshall,MO

The Pair spent about an hour in the loft, guessing after 1:00pm to 2:00pm.  One seems to be luring the second to the nest, the second seems reluctant to go there.  Time together in next proper was off screen.

April 18, 2021, Sunday, late afternoon evening --  TV in Nest  --  Marshall, MO

Two TVs returned and one has remained in the nest area.  I do believe she is asleep for the evening.  Does anyone know if they stayed there at night before?

Shift Change --  One TV leaves by Loft Door and One Arrives by Loft Window

[STLbf]

Clarinda & others, what fun to have an RRP cam site in Missouri! Lots to learn about MO TVs.

Couple pics of shift change about 1:00 PM today. They didn't leave the eggs alone for more than a minute, and it's warm there now. The parent birds have a gravely grunt sound, and are easy to hear walking on those bare boards.
