And Beauty's foot looks very good! Aside from the baby poop on it, of course!

And second breakfast!

Meanwhile...



Breakfast!

All tucked in with Orville and Beauty on guard

   

Dinner was a little late, but filling none the less.

I have a feeling there's something they're perceiving as a threat that we can't see. Hopefully whatever it is will move on real soon.

Someone is on the High Falls smokestack eating something.  Looks like a peregrine, but I don't have my binocs! Sue (Bess)

Only on Rfalconcam

Was this Beauty on cam #1?

And here's another thing... I am seeing rather large prey items... or is this just my imagination? Anyone know the species we are seeing? I sure don't.

Slainte!!

There has been a mix of large & small, but Dot's a big bird so he can probably carry larger prey than the average tiercel. I have been trying to ID the prey with very little success. Most have been shades of gray. The first clearly brown bird I've seen was Sunday. Most are pretty well plucked by the time they get to the nest box.

I've been wondering... haven't we seen the adults get rid of the non-viable eggs in the past? So I am curious about why the two eggs are still sitting there, seemingly being ignored. Anyone?

Slainte!

Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Beauty & Archer didn't remove the non-viable eggs last year until they collapsed. Dorothy's unhatched egg (Cathedral of Learning) was still there on banding day.

Good morning Beauty & Baby!

Look at me momma!  I have wings just like yours!

Possible explanation for the cautious behavior by Beauty & Dot.ca since yesterday throwing off their routine...



This is the Philipone building across the street from Times Square.

Yesterday Carol P. reported they were power washing the building.

Mark B & Patsy report today they're installing banners and street lights and there's a Frontier Communications truck there too. Making a mighty big noise according to Patsy.
