From 10:45 pm Monday night until 1:00 am Tuesday, Cadence remains on the level below the corner of the ledge. Reminds me of Beauty when she would sit outside the nestbox waiting to lay an egg. Jersey Dad has not returned to the igloo. I suspect he is aware that Cadence is due since he has stopped incubation. I doubt the current eggs are viable.

9:35 – 9:58 am Cadence checked out the eggs. Stood over them, preened, then did the brood patch shuffle. She laid on the dark egg for 3 seconds. She did some pebble picking and then another brood patch shuffle and laid on the eggs again. Not for long though. I think her maternal instincts are kicking in. Maybe she is with egg?

10:45 am - When Dad returned to nest this morning, there was evidence that he had a bite to eat - blood on beak and right leg.
12:48 pm - Cadence perched on top of igloo. Dad inside on eggs vocalizing - looks like he is e-chupping to her.
1:45 pm - Cadence at nest, both bow to each other and e-chup. Dad leaves and Cadence looks over the eggs. Twice she rolled one egg under her and crouched, but did not lay on the eggs. I think her instinct says what to do, but she can't figure it out being a young bird.

...being such a battle maiden.
Or a shieldmaiden. Should her nickname be Lagertha? Like Lagertha, Cadence is an unstoppable force. Hopefully we can continue to follow her success on camera as we do Rhea Mae and Quest. She is the first of Beauty & Dot.ca's legacy we can follow as she matures.

Great capture Donna! What a "Beautyful" falcon. I was up peaking at the cam on and off during the night. The male hardly slept. I saw him vocalize and come to the igloo entrance around midnight. I had a feeling Cadence would show up this morning.
