They're seeing some inconsistencies in her appearance but if this is her, I'm thrilled! As for Blue 44, I have hope that he's still alive and the transmitter malfunction is only problem!

Not yet, Kris, but she has been at the nest box most of the day....Rhea Mae has been at home most of today too.....
Kendal brought Quest a meal at 3.40PM today.  Kendal has brought food several times this week.

OK, thanks!  I watched her "bearing down" like then rock back and forth-thought I saw something reddish in scrape but hard to tell.  Looks like it might be soon though!

I thought Quest just laid an egg and if not, looks like she's trying!

Bury the wires, I say! Not easily done. Poor girl, she was doing pretty good on her own. There is a place in my heart for her. Something about a rehabbed falcon! 

I know -I thought of S2 and all the time they spent with her.

Another post by Glenn about Haya:



HAYA: Rest in Peace
In Raptor Rehabilitation on March 29, 2013 at 11:45 am
Well, we lost her. It was one of those things that can happen to any raptor at any time. I posted to the nest camera discussion groups that she was hit by a car but upon further inspection that seems not to be the case. A headless pigeon was found near her body under the Hegenberger overpass. Thanks to the bands that she wore, identification was easy. Due to nearby traffic it was easy to assume that she was hit and killed instantly on the roadway while trying to control and eat a recently captured pigeon. But she had burns on both feet and on her head making us now think that she was probably electrocuted. If she touched one wire with a wingtip and the pigeon’s wing touched another wire, the electrical current passing through her would have been tremendous. There was a utility pole above her as well as a vehicle overpass.

These things happen and there is nothing in the world we can do to prevent it short of burying all the utility wires. After seeing the x-rays of her injury, the second fracture at the site of a bone infection, and her poor plumage after months of medical treatment, I never thought I would see the day when she was released successfully. The Lindsay Museum did a heroic job of treating her. Jim DeRoque put in the time to physically condition her and molt her through to a new set of feathers. And Haya pushed all the way through to once again live like a peregrine with her face freely looking in to the wind. What happened to her could have–and does–happen to raptors every single day. She had an accident on the utility wires that had nothing at all to do with her injury, treatment, or rehabilitation.

Great pic and great catch!  You certainly have a good view! 

Back again... Beauty, right??

No, that's a nest box, Bobbie!
