Standoff lasted 24 minutes.

Bev posted some pics of her left eye yesterday on BCAW and it's partially open.  She showed a pic of her injuries to an in-the-know biologist who said he's seen worse and that it should get better over time (barring any bad infection). With Allen hunting for her right now, it's a good thing, allowing her to rest and heal. I can't get the cam either.  

Thanks, Kris.  I'm glad better brains than mine have been consulted.  Bless Belle, Allen, their little ones and the intruder. 

OMG, her face looks horrible.  The poor dear must be in so much pain.

Wow, drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds indeed!

YAY!!   

Last I knew this was the Thomson Reuters building-where did you get Aqueduct from Shaky? 

The Aqueduct Building is the actual name of the building, and in fact that's what employees call it.  If you go to the rear entrance, by the small parking lot, you'll see there's a plaque on the side of the entrance that says "Aqueduct Building."

Lawyers Co-Op Publishing bought the Aqueduct Building in 1903, after having rented space there for several years. The Thomson Corporation bought Lawyers Co-Op in the early 1990s.  In the mid-1990s Thomson bought West Publishing, and the name of the company in the Aqueduct complex became West Group. A few years later the name was changed to Thomson West.  Then in 2008 Thomson bought Reuters, and the name of the company became Thomson Reuters.  However, through all these company name changes the name of the Aqueduct Building hasn't changed. 

Thanks for the update, Bev.  Keeping my fingers crossed.

trying to get good shot but her face is bloodied .

Don't know how you got on the cam, I still can't! Not sure I want to now! Feel so bad! Thanks Bev

after Southbend , I do not want to see fights but I just wanted to make sure she was O.k. If it is just a face wound, it will heal and you will only see scars.

Donna , I had to unlock a plugin blocker. I had to do same to get into San Jose and San Fransisco

male was in and she was out for a bit but she is back in and resting. this will take a lot out of her as she is still in recovery after laying eggs.

hope all stays well

Belle is Beauty's sister and Unity's mom, so we know she's made of strong stuff.  She'll need that strength now.  I am hoping for the best for Belle, Allen, their surviving eggs and the intruder falcon.

Oh, that's awful!  I don't have Quicktime.  Sorry!  

I like the Utica falcons names, too; Astrid and Ares.

The new pair in Utica have an egg!

Wow, that's a strange sound! 

It reminds me of a car that won't turn over.
