Lil Dad has been gone for 2 months while male, 38S, has been keeping company with Niecey.  Lil Dad returned today!  Stay tuned!

Oh, I hope 38S will leave with little or no fuss, like last year.

I was so happy to see this update on the site today:

1/26/2018  ::   Breaking News!

Around 9:30 a.m., the nearly 15-year-old resident male, band code W/V, was spotted back on the ledge. While the female remains at the nest ledge all year, the male often leaves the area and then returns when breeding activity typically resumes.


So glad Lil Dad is home. I was beginning to wonder, since he is not usually gone for this long. Now I hope that there will be no territorial battle to retain his nest and his territory. Lil Dad is one of a kind.

That’s good because I don’t think he’s been seen since he showed up that day from his migration/vacation.  :2thumbsup:

He just has the sweetest little face and honestly I've never seen a tiercel bring in as much food as this one does.  She actually has to turn food away there is so much coming in.

Late yesterday, Lil Dad brought Niecey a food gift, which she happily accepted. She flew off to enjoy her meal.

When she returned, bonding at the nest:
