Cadence, 91/BA

[Carol P.]

The female's left wing is injured. It's impossible to get her unless she goes down. So sad.

[carly]

She's flying quite well in spite of injuries Carol, I have to say she is one strong female..seriously. She was favoring that wing on Friday night when I first tuned in but it hasn't hindered her at all.   

It's hard to watch for sure, I'm more afraid now that one of them will hit the building and it will be fatal...the speed is crazy.  

[Carol P.]

It looks to be strained. She can still pull it back. I've seen battles and they can be vicious. I'm glad they don't have sound.

Oh god yes me too, sound would be scary right about now.  Mom's right foot is sore as well.  She is smart to keep coming in like this instead of risking further injury.  I don't know how she still has the stamina to keep this up.

[Carol P.]

She and Cadence both have to be exhausted.

[Carol P.]

When Pigott (we believe it was her) and Beauty battled, it was very intense for a couple days. They finally broke it off and Pigott eventually relocated to Syracuse.

Yes they seem to be pausing for a moment or two right now.  I don't know what Cadence had for lunch while she gone but it seems to have invigorated her or maybe it's hormones rising...  Hormones elevated leads to carelessness and impatience sometimes.  I just want this to end peacefully and soon.

Yes I remember that but it was out of season if I remember correctly?  So they were both thinking with their heads and not being driven by hormone rage.

[Carol P.]

True. We've had battles during egg laying too.

[carly]

Holy ...again mom came in and Cadence was right on her tail.  And mom jumped back up out of view again.

[carly]

The male has joined in now, saw three in the air.  Chad saw him a few times while I missed him so he's helping by protecting her.

[carly]

Ok male has retreated into igloo and back on eggs.

[carly]

Mom just came in fast with Cadence on her tail. In front of box again, male on eggs still.  I've got Harry Potter on TV that my mom is watching and it's distracting. 

Tomorrow at work, this cam will likely be blocked so won't be able to watch.  Only refresh cams work at office now, they block streaming as it uses up too much bandwidth.

[carly]

Cadence must be up above maybe, she's looking up and holding up her right foot..she's favoring it again.  Male saw something and took off, maybe took off after Cadence?  Or cam moving has freaked him out.

[carly]

She's back again in front of box and two birds in air, male must be helping or Cadence is chasing him...hard to say. Oh...she hit her!  (Cadence hit the female just to clarify)  Male back in on eggs now.  And female in on ledge.
