Ethel....two days in a row.

Two recent trips across the bridge, two Ethel sightings. We didn't see her on Tuesday, but she was on the north fountain just off Foster Island yesterday around noon when we crossed the bridge eastbound. And this morning on our trip westbound into the city, there she was, around 8 am, sitting there on the all-time favorite light standard where she and Eddie hung out together so often in times past. Ethel looks good....well fed, healthy. If she came close to starving to death while she sat on the nest for several weeks it is not apparent. Maybe Ernest really is a prince, and brought her food and gave her an occasional break from egg sitting? Who knows. I tend to attribute human characteristics to animals (I do that all the time with Wilson). No glimpses of Ernest lately. We may travel the bridge again during the weekend. I'll report it if we catch sight of either of our friends then.
