6.29 pm - well all I hear is Spirit calling for mating...otherwise all quiet...so far.

Well phooey! We will survive. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will fix itself-the old one did a few times.

 

Yes, we will survive thanks to 5 working cameras. That's 5x more than most sites. And we have the best watchers on the street who share great photos and videos from their cameras.

It was quiet most of the day, Montreal FB said no sign of that other female earlier today.  Just have to wait and see how it plays out.  Might be like when Cady took over Union County.  Apparently this female was seen around here on the 23rd as well.

Sounds like the battle continues.  Male on eggs atm but mw saw Spirit being attacked and heard yelling out of cam view.

Gigi said they were afraid the female might leave with the human intrusion - with eggs there it gave her a reason to come back in case the people spooked her.  She's unbanded so she may not have experience with humans intruding on the nest.  Plus they had to wait to get permit to go up there.

Did anyone else just lose the Main cam?

Poor little guy.  He's thinking 'she will really yell at me if I don't get these covered!'   

 

The body of KathyQ was retrieved this morning from the nest box as per Gigi on BCAW and positively ID'd as her.

I wonder if Eve isn't on eggs at her site and maybe she went back home?  I think she fought over here last year as well and then went home - she's obviously not fond of 'sharing'.  Will have to wait and see what they say...

Edit to add:  had an answer to this question from someone in Montreal - Eve is not sitting on eggs and they are concerned that this is not over as well.  The male has been on eggs for over an hour they said.

Thanks, carly.  I feel so sorry for Terzo. 

Thank goodness for Terzo, from what I've read - he seems to be around quite alot so perhaps he sees he is needed!

Baby 3 hatched overnight and is doing well.  Seems like hatching at night or with dad around is the key to survival here.  All should hopefully go well now.

 

Spirit is back, doesn't look too good though. But man is she tough as nails!  Don't know if this is over or not but holy cow...stunned to see her back.
