KathyO has eechupping for her ringtone. I'll give her a call and ask where she got it.

She got it from me.

  cool but can I make it a ringtone on my iphone? I hear you can't  but there must be a way around the loops!

The one I use doesn't work on iphones, but there has to be an mp3 to ringtone converter for iphones out there.

Beauty - just checkin' in.

Looked for a moment like she was chupping for a-ahem-visit from Archer!

Settled down & preening

I like the view from cam 4-a different perspective at night

And Mariah having a VERY bad hair day! 

After looking at Lou's birthday album (great pics as always Lou!) I looked at some of the other albums I have saved there and I found one from 2005. 

         

These are from the test drive of the new Pan cam!



And the original of the QTP2T picture

After checking out and seeing the Falcon at KP, Dana and I headed downtown.  At first we only had Beauty on the Times Square bldg.  She flew down to the nest box and loud ee-chupping filled the air.  She did this for quite a long time and we wondered if Archer was near by.  Beauty took off and headed east over the river.  That's when Dana yelled to me that there were 3 Falcons!  I quickly looked up to see three Pefas flying over the river, east of the Times Square bldg.

It was impossible to tell if the 3rd was a male or female.  There didn't seem to be a lot of aggression between them, just a pushing out of the territory by A&B.  Archer returned to the nest box to take up the guard position.  Beauty and the 3rd Falcon headed north down the river.  After awhile, Beauty returned to the Times Square bldg.

All was quiet after that and when we left, both A&B had settled on the Times Square bldg.  The Watchers will definitely keep watching.

Thanks, Carol-I was hoping that was all it would turn out to be.  Don't need any disruptions now!

Carol-was the 3rd Pefa you reported just passing through?  A&B weren't too happy...

Now that the first egg has been laid it's time to vote again!

How many eggs do YOU think Beauty will lay this year?

Huh?

I was amazed at this picture of the orphan baby... sometimes webcams really distort you perspecitve!

Beauty left nestbox at 10:40 pm.  Little eggy all alone.

Good thing we have all the cameras...you'd never know there was an egg in there from just the main cam!

I just caught a feeding...and it looked like she has three little ones in there!  I thought two was usually the limit for hummers, but perhaps I'm wrong.  Hopefully she's in her prime and the California bugs and nectar are plentiful!

The one with 3 in the nest has a foster baby.  Someone accidentally cut down the branch with the nest & a rehabber took it to this nest since they had tiny ones.  I'll find the FB page in a bit...
