Not sure where to put this, feel bad about Seneca!

Successful mating... female's tail shifted to the side; male able to copulate (posted as a sequence previously: Titan and "GG" at Hilliard Road Bridge)...

Glad to see that Titan and GG are together again this year!  I often think about Seneca and wonder whatever happened to her and I also have wondered how her mate, Cheyenne is doing.  To my knowledge, I don't think he was seen again after his release from rehab.

wasn't there a report of a falcon being "relocated" up there right at the time she disappeared. I personally think they did something else because they weren't up front about it.(I'm thinking from the airport)

I had read that birds were caught at the airport there and relocated but nobody confirmed it, if I remember right. Seneca disappeared right around Christmas and GG appeared not too long after, becoming Cheyenne's new mate.  She laid eggs, Cheyenne got hurt, went to rehab for a long time, GG abandoned the eggs, site and moved on. I always wondered if there was a battle between the females but we'll never know.

Very cute! 

Hmmm -the link worked for me today.   

Kinda cute in a weird sort of way. Love the squeaky toy sound!

Love is in the air and so is the repaving schedule for the Tarentum Bridge.   

 

And the beat (or beating) goes on...

This link doesn't work for me.

Kris,  mw over at BCAW has reported over the past several months that there have been frequent sightings of EC at his favorite roosting spot on campus.  The most recent one she posted was from February 11th. 

Thanks, Carly! I felt so bad for him last year watching his family from afar but life does go on. I hope he finds another mate this year!

We West Coast-ers are sure celebrating these early egg arrivals!  San Francisco got their THIRD egg this morning.

Just for the sake of clarity, the male falcon, the tiercel, at San Jose who has wooed and won Clara this year is Fernando El Cohete, or Fernando "the Rocket".  We mostly just call him Fernando. Last year he displaced the previous tiercel, E.C., or Esteban Colbert, after the eggs E.C. fertilized had been laid. 

So this year belongs to Fernando entirely, and he has already taken turns sitting on this new egg.  Celebrate!!

They said last year, after EC was displaced by FC, that EC was observed watching what was going on at the nest site but never interfered. Has anyone seen EC this year-is he still around?
