Dixie got tired of yelling and left.  Saw him hop up on one leg for a minute but he's back laying down.

Edit to add:  Dixie did eventually come back and he tried to stand but couldn't.  After awhile he literally jumped out of the box or threw himself over more like it and flew off.  No doubt off to somewhere safe as darkness fell.  Dixie still on perch.

Dixie is on the perch yelling at him, she wants food and mating as her hormones are driving her.  That new box has been nothing but trouble since they put it up there.  Imagine babies in there now and they got their talons stuck in there!

For those who don't know - Yankee got his foot stuck in the nest box the other day and it took him hours to get out.  His foot is badly injured and he's laying in the nest box right now.  He can fly but he could hardly stand up the other day and had to his wings to get up.  Very similar to Archer back in the day. It's hard to watch but he can fly so DEC can't get to him unless he goes to ground.   crying

From Barb Baldinger on Facebook: 

One of your Buffalo offspring has been photographed in Sarnia, Ontario by a friend of my friend. The female Peregrine Falcon with the black/green, 60/BC band was banded in the nest box at the Central Terminal on 5/21/16. She was one of three out of three female chicks. Her parents were Gleig (f) from Hamilton Ontario, and Diamante (m) from Rochester, NY who came in 2012, ousting the pair who were there and taking over the nest box together. Her band is 1947-21597, and she was named Ginger upon banding.

Both back again.

Female is home now.  She has such a fierce look at times.

Male is back again today.  I"m almost positive this is Stormin we're seeing.  Can't get a clear read on the top 2 letters but I will..what I can see matches the shapes I would expect and the 'Y' on the bottom is 100% confirmed now.  I went through hundreds of screen shots and video and photos of Stormin so I'm convinced - now I just have to prove it!  Disclaimer***  This is just me saying this - not an official CPF declaration in any way so if it's wrong, I'll be the one to answer for it Smiley

Here are this morning's photos so far.

Winter storm warning in effect, snow falling already here.  The warning on the site says 12-16 inches expected!

Been trying to read that band .... I'm 99.9% sure it's a 'Y' on the bottom.  That's about all I can say, I can see the second number on top but it's not clear enough at this point to say one way or another what it is.  Which means it could be any male we've ever banded.  Will keep at it!

2000/09/03 is a strange date. Time is off too.

Yes that hasn't updated for ages but the images do so just ignore the date stamp.  It's like the Y2K bug got it  Wink

Looks like it's confirmed that it was VV that was killed - the necropsy results confirm she was carrying an egg so it was definitely her as she was about to lay when the fighting started.

Hard to tell, when you blow it up it gets distorted.  I did see Loza's video and in that one she wasn't banded - of course with all the females coming through here it could be yet another one.  I didn't watch much the past few years so I couldn't say if it's still the female VV but to me on first blush this new one looks younger and she has that white above her cere which VV didn't seem to have.  But like I said, I didn't watch enough to really be an expert on making a determination and they do have some similarities.  It's so hard to tell with unbanded falcons - the same bird can look so different at times.  For all we know they could be sisters from different years as both are unbanded.

I just hope the site settles down and that this female, whoever she is, is strong enough to end the carnage and hold the site.
