Cadence and Beauty both in their respective nest boxes tonight 

So fill me in here, please. I see that some have taken to calling Cadence's mate Allen. What is the story behind that?

I saw someone posted that they felt he deserved a name so they called him Allen.  If there is a meaning behind the name, I didn't see that post. 

 

He is so close but the second you zoom the photo, it's just pixel city 

Yes they've been quite busy the past few days.  Wish we knew who they were...I convinced myself it was Stormin but I"m not so sure anymore.  Tiago and he are similar in many ways so I may be wrong on that one.   Perhaps once they get some eggs, Linda can go up and peek through the peep hole and get his ID for certain.

This was earlier this morning while I was doing laundry:

Well Yankee hasn't lost his mojo, he just mated with Dixie 

Yankee left the nest box...bev got some video of him where you can see his foot.  Swelling has gone down from the other day.

I should have said he looks better than day before yesterday, sorry ..was too excited..lol!  He wasn't on cam at all yesterday.  He's more alert today too - a good sign.  Hopefully Dixie is out hunting for them!

9.20 am and Yankee may be on the egg.  Dixie flew off, my browser crashed and by the time I got it back up and running someone was on the egg.  Can't tell from this angle if it's him but Sage is saying he limped in and took over...that would be awesome!

Edit to add:  Yankee confirmed!  Yay!  He tried to stand a second and couldn't but he looks better than yesterday.

7.36 am and no sign of Yankee for the past hour.  Dixie has been calling for him on and off.

7.53 pm: No sign of Yankee today at the nest box nor from the ground by watchers.  Dixie hasn't left the nest box since she laid her egg.  

Just playing around with paint today.. Beauty and her girls today.

Aria and Lucky at the nest tray.

Dixie laid an egg.  No sign of Yankee at all this morning according to reports.

I don't know Kitty.  I expect Sage might?  Barb contacted the DEC to get the information.
