Keith and Percy circled around through the field and was following along the roadway behind the little clan.


With both gates closed, we waited to see if they would fly over the gates and wait for the little ones to come along.


Percy was making his way around, to open the gate when it was clear that they were not going to leave the babies behind.

#6 still had not caught up to the group


Waiting patiently for Percy.


He didn't want to scare them, so he opened the gate that was further away, then walked back, waiting to see if they would move the group along through it.

thank you so much Pamela- I see you have covered this nest from the start- beautiful pictures and great coverage! bravo.

When it was clear that they did not want to use the other gate, Percy went to open the other one.


Bonnie and Clyde waiting for Percy


With Bonnie in the lead, she lifted her head and gave a nod to Percy, as if to say Thank You.




GD, Your Welcome and Thank You very much

the March continues, Bonnie in the lead.. I am glad she had that down on her beak or I wouldn't have known who was who



#6 made a grand effort to keep up as Clyde waited for him.

all gone

Papa waiting for #6 to catch up.


Wait for me dad... I'm slow, but I am coming too.


Bonnie leading the other 5 along.

It's not far now, just over the hill and down to the lake.


Off we go


Clyde stops to wait for #6 as Bonnie continues with the others
