AWW!  Even Tiny is getting his second down now!

I don't know where Quest was today, but for the past 4 days, she has been very close to Pickering. She may have returned to the power plant.

Interesting-I thought for sure she was going to settle on the Lennox Power plant.

The one coming to my mind is Millie, Archer's sister.  2 perfectly fine years with Swifty in Ohio, then she took off to Michigan & Leopold.  Who knows why.  Hopefully we'll hear about Seneca again.

Nice video of Clara laying her 4th egg in San Jose.

Here or I can has cheezburger thread?  OK...here feels more appropriate today...

Just saw this posted on the Norfolk chat...
   
Congowings:
Kcp in Oklahoma - my husband just informed me of why they are called a clutch: Clutch of eggs is a variant of the now obsolete dialectal form cletch (17th c.). This was a derivative of the Middle English verb clecken ‘give birth’, which was borrowed from Old Norse klekja (probably a distant relative of clutch ‘seize’).

Tiny sure is making sure he gets his share!

FUNNY!  Dad is brooding the eggs.  Mom arrives to take over.  She practically has to pick him up to get him off the eggs!

Cool!

I think I like this one best (so far)

I've been away from the forum for a while and am wondering about Mr. T's history.  How long has he been around?  Is he banded and that's how his name is known?

Thanks,
Kathleen

He's not banded so no history to report, Kathleen.   He's been hanging around with Beauty for a while now.  The watchers just started calling him Mr. T...I think because it's easier to tweet than tiercel.  We're all hoping he's just a winter visitor and will move on before Archer gets back.

Ei

I'm not making any predictions.  We're all still learning from what we're watching, which is the whole point of the cameras & watchers in the first place. 

Conventional wisdom says peregrines mate for life.  Mariah hung out with Whiney Tiny Guy & Tybropa Cree in a similar fashion to this while she was waiting for Kaver.  It wasn't until Archer showed up in late March that she tried mating.

Archer will be back if he is able.  We'll just have to wait until then to see how this plays out. 

Posted today on CMNH:

"There were two peregrine falcons under the Brookpark Rd. bridge last night. It was getting to dusk when I stopped to check after walking the dogs, but there were definitely two peregrines on the bridge support. I am sorry I didn't have the scope to try and ID them!
Have a great day!

I do hope it's Seneca!

Dad helping with the feedings!  Tiny is getting his fair share!
