On Twitter, they're saying Dorothy might have a 5th egg!  They're waiting for her to move for a count!

a nice video showing all four of the hungry owlets and Mr. Owl arriving with a moth and not having the foggiest idea how to feed an owlet.

Talk about clueless!  Hope he learns soon to supply more than little bugs for these 4!

Kris, is this what your talking about?

Yes.

I thought I saw DC fly off with the prey on the archives.

Bonnie, did you see him on the Live cam or the stills? My Ustream was frozen just at that moment when he took it. Couldn't find any pics in the stills.

At the 16:25 mark on cam 1, I see a Falcon flying just above the porch area. Could be him?  I remember Beauty would cache food last year by the main cam, in case Orion needed something during the night.  Maybe she wanted a quick snack in case she was trapped by DC and couldn't get any food and foolishly thought he wouldn't see it?  I don't think DC is in the food gift stage yet. My opinion...

Maybe B brought it for him but he just wouldn't come down to get it until she left, then he snatched it! Peace offering? Jeez, who knows!

Don't know but would think she's smarter than that!

Rosie and Bobby have 3 eggs now!

carly, yes, that was odd. But coming into nesting season, Gleig had been hanging out at her nestbox, and Diamante would usually perch above where he had a good view. The nest side of the tower also protect them from the fierce winds that roar through the spot, in that the tower stands alone and on considerably higher ground than anything else in the vicinity.

With migrating pefas which would be likely to check out this high spot, they may well be on high alert, but this is mating/nesting season now, not November, which makes me suspicious. We have to confirm the bands, then I'll relax!  

To make matters worse, work in being done on the building, today, on the nest side. which is likely adding to the problem, but this may be a bad year for CT because they will be retiling the whole roof. It may almost be better if they don't nest there this year, yeh, right, because roofing and fledging will not be a good mix.

If eggs are at the site, i don't think they can continue work on the building

Jeanne-Sage told me the building owners can do whatever they want, even if Peregrines are nesting there.

Possible scenario right now - Intruder may not be DC because he is not appearing at BS that we know of. I believe this aggressive behavior is another male chasing resident male from the territory because it is the best Rochester nest site.

Beauty is not fickle when she bonds with a mate, plus she has copulated with UT and her number one priority is her scrape for laying eggs. Until she feels UT will not return, I doubt she will consider bonding with this new m
If it is DC, she will likely join with him based on her instinct to reproduce, but she won't give up her nestbox.

Do you mean another male chasing resident female or male chasing UT out?

Right now I consider UT the resident male since B has bonded & copulated with him. 

Ahh, OK-I was confused!  Looks like the resident male has been chased out or worse since no signs of him since yesterday.  Poor Beauty has never had an easy time since she landed in Rochester-good thing she's so strong and committed!
