if they would of used these guys pictures in the movie "The Birds" it probably would have put a bunch of people into therapy that is one nasty looking customer.

does the man know just how many birders are out there?  If word got out and all birders refused to use his businesses. He would be in a world of hurt. Even folks who aren't into birds are usually into    Bald Eagles 
If I lived in your area they would be on my banned business list. I'm just saying BOYCOTT is an option

WanderingFalcon (Carol P.): They are so close, they could lean over and preen each other. They are directly cove nestbox. If Archer returns, I believe there will be ...

be what......a fight!!! Was wondering about that before, will Beauty join in and help MR T? Oh wish he would leave soon so no battles will occur. Remember poor Mariah, how she got ganged up on. Mr. T is cute but needs to find a new home or old home, if he has one. Is he even old enough to breed? I know, we just have to wait.

he is in his adult plumage so I would say yes he is old enough to breed. Does he have the hunting skills to be a helpful mate who knows.

and I didn't think his sentence was long enough in the first place. What a lame @$$ judge 

[2011 Tiercel]

could this be the same guy as last year? and he just spends his "vacation" with Beauty? Does anyone remember if they were bowing to each other last year?

Here I go - doing my comparisons again...

2011 Tiercel

2010 Tiercel

When comparing the 2 males, the malar stripe (mustache) on the 2010 Tiercel is narrower, and the auricular patch (white area behind the mustache) is quite visible.  The 2011 Tiercel (Mr. T) has a wide malar stripe and the auricular patch is slight.  It is my opinion, they are not the same visiting males.

do these never change as a falcon molts or ages? just curious.

Not sure if they bowed to each other or not last year, but it will be interesting to see if this Tiercel leaves on his own this year, before Archer returns.  What an interesting behavour, if this Tiercel has a mate and nest site of his own somewhere and he winters here in Rochester with Beauty.  Very interesting indeed.  OK, I just love watching their behavours.   

Personally, I hope he does leave and there is no territorial battle between the two Tiercels.

Yes no more fighting I know its the falcon way but I don't like it.

 could this be the same guy as last year? and he just spends his "vacation" with Beauty? Does anyone remember if they were bowing to each other last year?

  could she be wanting another fella? If I recall correctly before our boy left he would bow to her and she would not always bow back. Now here she is bowing to the home wrecker (she's a  little sl-uh-t) 

Too bad for the deer but a beautiful wolf none the less! 

I knew you would say that!!

I agree with MAK it is beautiful and it probably wouldn't have happened if there was enough wild game about.

  Before ya know it we'll have our own pefa eggs! 

 Yodel-Lay-Hee-Hoo! Something like that!

first we need Archer to come home. Unless Beauty picks Mr T

Well its a known fact you can't make everybody happy. If you read the forum here you have the ability when you set your profile to shut off a lot of that stuff. At least you used to be able to. I for one like all the extras.

Hawkeye Plant? Nest box? Got more info?

The nest box has been there for years. Lou wrote about it in August 2009.

Oh one of the boxes not being used...OK! Sorry.

Well, not being used by peregrines.

who or what is using it then?

Whiny Guy was NOT Zephyr. He was with Beauty if Beauty was the one we were calling "Clarice" on the Phsyc Center

I'm tellin' ya - Mr T means business!!!

He only stands a chance if Archer doesn't come back or is injured in some way. Beauty is not going to give up on a proven Stud (muffin) for a whiny guy who cant even catch his own dinner, let alone catch food for future eyas . She's bored and lonely he's fun and here. Winter is long...though I agree Archer should keep his tail feathers home where he belongs.

it always seems there is someone out there who ruins it for all the rest.
