Just saw on Facebook that apparently she's getting the life dive bombed out of her by another female today.

It never ends there...sad. 

Dutch Eagle Fan has posted on BCAW that “the banded female is 7/C, a granddaughter of Pa and Ma. She hatched in 2014 on a similar communication tower in Ittervoort. Her father is R/4, born in 2006 at De Mortel.�

Don't the plots always thicken??? 

                   

It probably is somewhere out of sight, that's what makes it hard for me to see where we are in terms of timing.  OC was a hider too..lol or maybe it's Lucky.  When Jack was here, the whole world knew it was mating time

Who will lay first, Cadence or Beauty    

I so hope they have a successful season this year, after last year’s heartbreak.

This really is a good new cam. Wish they had had this cam when Madame X and Surge were there . . .

It’s an awesome cam..the clarity is outstanding!

They have an EGG!!!!!!

           

                           

Poor VV..fly free!    From BCAW

 

There were still 2 'other'  females battling an hour ago and one of them is also unbanded as well so it could be VV.  Chad was giving me a play by play on FB and the one the box now is speckly like VV..can't see her legs though.  I'm home now and can see their cam.

Edit to add:  I just blew up the photo of the dead female and i may see an orange band which is consistent with what Ingrid said one of the intruders had on her leg so we'll see.

Thanks for the update. Sad that one died but, hopefully, it’s not VV.

Sad news...

Post on BCAW says that they believe VV has been killed in a battle.  The body is being retrieved, to identify if it is female... VV was unbanded.

Tower Girl is hunkered down in the nest box.  Did she do some egg laying this weekend?

On BCAW, they posted a pic of the male and said they think there’s at least one egg.

Was just outside when I saw 2 birds hurtling towards the ground heading right into traffic....it was Aria and she had a pigeon but it got loose on her so she was in pursuit of it and pulled up at the last minute. I didn't realize it was a pigeon as it happened so fast so I ran across the street in case it was another falcon...and there in the pub doorway is this poor brown pigeon..wings up again the wall, pressed as tightly as he could to the wall with this stunned looked on his face. She landed on a light pole but took off after she saw me going near her intended prey. Honestly! These birds are going to kill me!
