The host unit at Cannon is the 27th Special Operations Wing (27 SOW), which activated on 1 October 2007, and is assigned to the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC).

The 27 SOW plans and executes specialized and contingency operations using advanced aircraft, tactics and air refueling techniques to infiltrate and resupply special operations forces (SOF) and provide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and close air support in support of SOF operations.

I’ve been watching them off and on all night! I’m glad that the 2nd one that branched has stuck around so his buddy won’t be all alone. Now i”ll go watch them dance. I’ll have to back it up a bit.

And then I’d better go. See ya tomorrow night for another exciting quiz night. :)

I think the first one “fludged” and I hope it’s ok. The two still at the nest are doing things the normal way - - branching but staying close to the nest for a while.

Their rain dance is a strange one. Not like the eaglets’ dance. These lil guys are just so funny.

See ya tomorrow for the quiz. Sleep well.

I got a short video of the first part of the dance. Very entertaining for sure! It was like a ballet!

Nite!
