You are right, MAK. It is an education. I have learned so much from watching the falcons. Although, who knew it would turn into a soap opera or falcon Jerry Springer?  This is waayyy past my bed time.

Now another question: have there been instances when nests/eggs have been abandoned in such cases as this where the male visits two nest sites? I know that there have been instances where males support two nest sites, but A has been scarce at NB lately. At least it seems that way to me and I keep an eye on the NB througout the day. All of these questions are popping up -- how long can egg sit as this one is -- un-brooded before it is not viable? Is there a time frame? Is there a viable nesting spot at KP? I think a possible site was mentioned in a post this week. Is there any chance KP security would cooperate with watchers to allow a closer watch? Sorry for all the questions, but after watching our Beauty all winter -- survive, and thrive, and have fun with Mr. T, and the return of Archer , this is an unexpected turn.

Hmmmm...just trying to get up to speed since I last checked in almost three hours ago. I kept a pretty good eye on the nest up to 7:30 or so --whenever my last post was. Now reading back through some posts, just want to run this by all of you. I saw that B left NB at around 7:50, or 7:49 as Ei, I think, reported. I had been keeping an eye on the nest pretty closely since 4 pm or so, right up until 8 pm. Beauty had definitely been alone during the time I was watching. At around 7:30, Joyce posted that there were two at KP on the stills. At 7:51, Kris G reported that B was callling for A at the NB. At 8:18, MAK reported that A was on the NB ledge. At 8:24, Carol P reported that only 1 at KP, and the 2nd one had "left awhile ago, heading south". TS is south of KP. The time frame fits. Is anyone else having the same thoughts? I had some of the same thoughts as "Bird Crazy" and Carly -- the stress, the migration, the "egg-binding", as I too had a wonderful bird that experienced egg-binding. It also seems kind of "quiet" from our wonderful watchers on the street. I know that as Ei said, you are trying to get the facts straight, but MAK, Carol, Joyce, Dana; do you have any thought about what you are seeing "on the Street"?

I'm sorry...I didn't mean to alarm anyone with my question. I guess I'm not used to it being almost a week between eggs. Beauty laid that first egg last Friday night. Maybe she is waiting for Donna's visit on Friday!

Thanks, MAK, for seeing what we can't, and easing some of our concerns. They have been somewhat absent today, and we all thought B was going to lay her egg last night or this morning. So...good to read your report.
