It appears that Eole, that was with Spirit over the winter, turned out to be a 2-timer, having another nest site and hasn't been seen in a while. Recently, an unbanded tiercel named Arthurin by watchers, has been seen frequently wooing Spirit. She laid her first egg today! A pic of him on FB today shows he has a cracked beak!

Oh my goodness!!!
From CMNH forum about Newton: Just to review, 13 year-old Newton has had a strong reproductive history, laying a clutch of five eggs four times while at the I-90 site (in 2007, 2009, 2010, and 2012). While she never has raised five chicks, she has had broods of three and four in the past and has been successful despite many relocations along the bridge over the years. We've mentioned that the I-90 construction/demolition crew has been remarkable, respectfully working around the nest each year and even postponing the final demolition so that Newton and her mate (Bolt while at the I-90 site) could raise their young post-fledge before their home was destroyed. In spite of this mutual tolerance, however, Newton has tried to be rather elusive, seeking to nest in threads of the bridge furthest away from the workers and mostly out of view, to the point we had to spend a great deal of time scanning around the site to locate the nest, and there were times that bridge workers had information that really helped us to zero in on her chosen location.

Late this afternoon/evening at the site, there was battling between 2 males. Either Pa is trying to get his territory back, or another intruding male. Either way, the intruding male was forced to flee to the box for safety a few times. Appears this story isn't over yet. To my knowledge, no more sightings of the banded female from the video earlier today. Seems VV chased that girl out. VV is really doing a good job of protecting her eggs. At least the males have not taken the fighting into the box. There are videos of the encounters over on BCAW. If it is Pa, he's putting up a good fight. Sort of reminds me of when that unbanded male came to the box in 2013 when incubation was underway and DC appeared to be injured and stayed down at BS for a day or two. Edit: just saw an update on BCAW from someone from NL - apparently this is another intruder male. Pa has not been seen since 4/6.  Just heartbreaking.
