Meant to post this on Monday but wanted to wait until I saw something from Dina.  On Friday night Eckert was behaving the same way as Union City mom and by nightfall it was evident he was under attack.  No idea how long but the fact that egg laying was delayed might have been for awhile.  Same technique as Union City , swooping and aerial attacks and poor Eckert hiding in the box.  

On Monday a new male entered the nest box.  He's also a Michigan pefa, 6 years old named Tornado.

Heavy sigh...

 

Dixie laid egg #3 around 4.50 today but couldn't get a clear photo until now.  I posted it to Peregrine Place Facebook! 

 

Looks like Pigott already laid a few eggs on the balcony of an empty building. Tom was trying to call someone about getting some sort of nest or gravel up there. No luck so far. Hope it goes well for Pigott, I really love her  courage, starting from BS.

Come on DEC-help them out!
