  Looks like Lil Dad is back     2thumbsup  He's so cute!   (pic by Reenie on BCAW)

Hope the NB guy is OK.

NB was seen a few days after Lil Dad's return from his mini vacation.


Whoa, so he's still around!

He was seen but maybe not in the last week or so. The conversation on BCAW is confusing-sometimes they think they see no bands then they do or "it sounds like NB" so who knows!

My favorites were the Paul Harvey narrated Farmer one for RAM and the Budweiser commercial with the Clydesdales.

Family together
Not a good picture but shows the whole family together.

Pappa is to the left of the satellite dish.

Azizi is directly below the satellite dish on a smaller roof.

PPO is on the top roof - on the right hand side.

I saw the name Miep too but then VV/Vievie so it was really confusing! Thanks for clearing the names up for me!  I just pray that it's a quiet year for poor Pa and that he and Vievie have babies.  
I too hope that Pa and his new mate will have a good year, with no territorial disputes or other problems. I don't know where the name VV (or Vievie) came from. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with the name Maria (with any spelling) for a peregrine . . .

The  name VV means  Vreemde Vrouw (Unknown Women).And then some people  called her Miep,just a woman's name.
I hope this is a better year for Pa and his mate. Thanks for your information.Greetings Carla

I wondered where the VV came from!  Thanks for the explanation, Carla!

Interesting videos posted on BCAW by skygirlblue about what might have happened to the egg with Savannah's branch moving.  Hope the others will be OK.

I read on FB that Savannah and Derek disposed of one of the eggs this AM but continue to tend to the remaining 2 eggs.

I was reading a post about Pa and new gal the other day on BCAW and someone asked if new gal was banded.  They said she is unbanded although I had read VV/Vievie in some converation on there. I guess I misunderstood that VV was her band no. so, no, she isn't banded but her name is still Vievie.  crazy
Yes, Pa's new mate is unbanded. I had usually seen her referred to on one or more Dutch forums as Miep or the diminutive Miepke (Miep is a Dutch variant of Maria). Apparently on one Dutch forum she is referred to as VV. BCAW decided for some reason to go with this name.
