Hi everybody,

Not much going on this week.
Over the weekend K90’s signal, this years Seal Rocks’ chick, registered on our towers, meaning the bird, or the radio transmitter, is moving. I went out on a hunt for him the next day but had no luck getting a signal from the island. I’ll keep trying.

Looking for K90. This is the Palisades and the Pinnacle Rock area.

Searching for K90, I came across K87, from Two Harbors, and A32, both of them were on the burnt area behind KBRT ranch.

K87 perched on an electric pole

Now a few close-ups

I recorded several minutes of K87 flying in the area and A32 vocalizing away as he did but the camera doesn’t seem to work anymore so I haven’t been able to capture the footage. We’ll keep trying but it doesn’t look promising.

Training with the captive birds is going just fine. I’ll try to take some pictures of them this week.

Until next time,

Steffani

Dear Steffani,

Good to see 87 is still hanging around. Silly birds, they live in a beautiful place. Why so many want to leave the island is beyond me. *s*

Can't wait to hear how Pimu is doing... are you doing anything different in her training than was done before?

Just realizing that it's almost November so we'll be seeing some nestorations before long.

I am very happy to hear my Minty (K90) is back. I have been depressed because I am going through rough time with my legal separation from my husband. The news of Minty was like a voice of angel, a ray of light from heaven. How strange. I did not see Minty grow up because there was no camera, but he can give me so much joy just being near the island. He does not know me and yet he can make me so happy...
