Another nice sight to see when I open Falconcam this morning.  Good for you Beauty!  Archer, just help her take care of those eggs and babes!  How exciting.  Can't figure out the egg laying timing though.

That's so funny that he is so predictable.  As the crow flies, how many miles is it between the two sites?   

Beauty was on the eggs from about 1:30 until about 1:53 or so.  Archer dropped by for a quick bow at about 1:45.  They kept their distance. Beauty stood on the nestbox  ledge, and Archer stayed out by the main cam on the deck.   But it did look like a bow.  Renewing their pair bond?

Did camera one stop at 21:29?

Hi Margaret, I think I met you last year at the Fledge Watch meeting (?)  I was out every day until the beginning of July when I retired into "Lurkdom" while caring for my Mom.  Thanks for your nice note, and I hope to see you soon.
The GOOD news:  I'm retiring on May 13th (Yes, Friday the 13th!)
The BAD news: Too late... My daughter Katya IS an English teacher !!!!!

Yes, Carla. We did meet at the first Watchers' meeting.I too, had to go into lurkdom due to back issues and my daughter having a baby.  And grading papers! 
I hope to be out more this watch season!   

I spotted this note from Carla P in the Falconwatch responses.  Copying it over-I often forget to look there for comments...

Hello all!
I’ve been lurking for far too long, but I’ve been paying attention to the situation and have some thoughts. At first I was comparing Archer to Clark Kent; whenever Superman appeared, Clark was nowhere to be found!!! Two falcons at KP, one falcon at the NB. Hmmmmm………
When I read that no copulation had been witnessed between Archer and Lady PeFa, I recalled an afternoon spent on the pedestrian bridge after Mariah had returned from Rehab. Carol P. and I were there all afternoon, watching Mariah sleep on the gorge wall, and watching Archer watch Mariah. Remember Carol? Clearly Archer was trying to keep Mariah away from Beauty. So for now, I’m voting for Archer the protector, NOT Archer the two-timer! And right on cue - EGG # 2!!!

Okay, I'm "out-ting" Archer.  I'm not sure what chat, or Fb or texts are saying, I know I haven't seen it here , but yesterday, I couldn't take the "speculation" anymore.  So despite end of marking period pressure, I drove up to TS and KP after school.  Quiet as a mouse DT.     I was first lost at KP, but ended up in right place. 
At 5:30 Friday evening -- last night -- I saw two Pefas -- assuming it was LP and our Archer --copulating on "railing"    of "left-most" still at KP.  Looking at Carol's pics this morning, I can now identify it as western-most still at KP.   It's not the tallest, but I was parked in road right in front of it, and pulled out my binocs. 
So is Archer protecting Beauty and NB  or is he raising two families?  The only good thing I can think of is that it is spreading Mariah and Kaver's gene pool...and that's a good thing.

Donna is here?  In Rochester??  Donna who is not addicted???  Donna who never leaves her house????
This news is ALMOST as exciting as Beauty's 2nd egg!!!!!!  This is my sign to retire from lurking... I must meet this woman.  I will see you all tomorrow.  Oh, happy, happy day!!!!!!

If you can, Carla P, go and meet up with everyone.  I would join you too, but I am locked into third quarter marking period grading, senior reseach papers, and report card grades, otherwise, I would be out there with you.  "...don't let your children grow up to be English teachers".     And..I had a bridal shower to attend today...oh, to retire!    Go meet All.  My thoughts will be with you.

Suggestion:  Carol just posted a great picture of KP with the structures labeled etc.  Can this pic be included by the KP in the glossary?  Watchers and viewers of this cam might find it helpful. 

If you click on the picture 2 posts back it will open that photo big enough to see it

Thanks, Ei.  I did click on the thumbnail of  the KP pic from CP.  The photo and Carol's labeling of the buildings/structures helped me...and I was there last evening!   I wish I had studied a pic like that before I was there.   I was just thinking that having the pic/labels in the glossary will be helpful...for new viewers and those of us with memory overload  :-) Thanks to Carol's labels, I now know what/where the ORB is, and the PPH (although I still don't know why it is called that). I think I missed something along the way...and I check in daily, all day!    WHY is it called PPH and do you think there is a nest in there?  Is it an enclosed structure?   It looks that way to me.  If that's the case, isn't it unusual for PFs to have such a nest? 
I learn more every day here...Thanks!

Sorry, Lou.  I posted my comment above your name:
My comment was:  I could spend hours looking at these albums.  The postcards...

Those are beautiful pictures Someone once took the picture and blacked him out, making a card of it or something similar. I cant seem to find this picture! I'll patiently wait. Either version would do, although I would prefer the original if someone can find it.

Perhaps one of these?

I could spend hours looking at all the albums here.  The postcards are beautiful.

WHEW!  What a nice sight to wake up to this morning!   
She was waiting for Donna!

 :star:Yes, good night, sweet Beauty.  Sleep well.  See you tomorrow.

Beauty at the NB from about 1:30 to 1:43 or so...

WOW!  That certainly looks like Archer's white spot on the wing!   And you say he's banded?
