unless my memory is failing me DC is spending more time on the eggs than Archer. Correct?
But then Archer wanted to but Beauty wouldn't let him
Don't forget, Archer spent lots of time at KP too during incu! I know but DC has two women also and seems more attentive but then there are no eggs (that we know about) at BS We really don't know much about BS, only there is a Pigott and an occasional DC, a scrape but what's in it?  |

Tragedy at South Bend, home of Zephyr, the one footed falcon.  Fledging – it can be a liberating and joyful time for birds and humans who watch them but it can also be sobering and sad. And so it is in South Bend. I am sorry to report that two chicks have died – high winds in South Bend apparently responsible for blowing them off the roof. This is the home of the incredible one-footed Zephyr and his mate Guinevere. It takes a lot of time and energy for falcon parents to raise their young to the fledging stage, much less if one of them has a distinct disadvantage. It seems so unfair to me that this happened but then that is my human way of expressing anger and sadness at the situation. I know rationally that Mother Nature is at work there but I also know the connection I feel to the falcon world. I can’t put that connection into words but it is deep and it is personal – wish I could spit them out but I guess it is beyond words. We hope for the best for the remaining juvenile to fledge successfully and carry on the genes of two wonderful falcon parents. I think they need a new nest box set up but wind is wind and it happens. So sad for them again this year. |

The new adult female falcon has been in the scrape with the male apparently pair-bonding.
She is a large falcon from the PA/NJ Turnpike Delaware River Bridge in Bucks County, PA, and was banded on May 21, 2009, by the PA Game Commission.

Oh my, thanks Carly, I never heard of that site but will follow it now. Poor babies, I know it's not Diana's fault, she's doing it because it's her way but then I think of Harrisburg and the new female there, is NOT harming the 2 juvies that have fledged. So much to learn about Falcon behavior, all different.
