Allen came in to relieve Cadence about 20 minutes ago and she declined.  Working on #2 

I am sad. No exciting falcon reports of MAK anymore.

Wishing you all the best!

Maybe I'll find falcons in Arkansas and if I do, I'll write reports again Annette. 

Maybe the falcons will find you down there MAK 

I feel the same way Kris. I'm so glad that Linda was able to positively ID Stormin as Chaos' mate. We may never know what happened to Rhea Mae and Tiago. It's bittersweet that their son has replaced them. I hope and pray that Rhea Mae and Tiago are together somewhere and safe. 

I really feel that they’re together, enjoying their retirement, after a job well done. ❤️❤️

I agree, I think they are together somewhere.

Toronto Sheraton March 30

A quick visit to the Sheraton to check the ledge and ready for the upcoming nesting season. When I arrived the male was in view. I saw the female flying around the BMO tower and Scotia Tower. When the female arrived I was able to confirm that she is unbanded. I have named her "Chaos". I think appropriately.

The male then moved and I was able to see his bands in a quick glimpse and can amost say for certain it is no longer Tiago, but Stormin from King St. site. I didn't stay much longer as I did not want to be discovered. The new female is very active and always on the move.. I am sure she patrols the downtown neighbourhood, and i'm sure she is the one I see sitting on top of the Scotia Tower looking over her new empire.

Congratulations on egg #2 - was out in the rain and missed it! 

Betty Ann says the egg was laid at 7.46 am so I was gone longer than 2 minutes!   

We has an egg!!!  Screenshot by Lisa over at UC!  I got up for 2 minutes and came back and there it was! 

Me too, I went to shower, came back and BAM!!! 

She's a sneaky one.

 Cadence home at 7.21 pm

Yes it's a miserable day and cold to boot.  Warming up for 2 days starting tomorrow and then by Sunday wet snow again 

I already compared it to last year before I posted. Take a look at your post from March 17, 2018 and compare it with mine today. To me, the patch looks significantly darker now. It could be the plucked feathers, or perhaps the angle of the sun. Sometimes slightly brighter sun, as this is, brings out more contrast.

I'm not sure what to tell you patsy - I'm not an expert on feathers or molts so maybe someone else has a better idea.  I know they can look very different depending on the time of day and lighting and temperature, etc.   I do remember around the time of my March 17th photo her feathers looked short or missing from that area but now they seem to be growing in.  What happened to cause that I have no idea.  I haven't seen any signs of trouble but our view is limited on the cams so who knows what goes on out of sight.  I do think she looks good and healthy and hope she stays that way. 

They are the same peachy color as Beauty has on her chest.  I don't think it's blood stains at all, it's peach colored to me and I watched her quite intensely the other night to double check as I saw some of the comments about it.  She has some feathers missing there which may be why they are more visible but I have seen her plucking feathers from that area.

Scroll down on this page and see photos from last year of her peach feathers and compare the colors?
