Cadence, 91/BA

[AlisonL]

The resident female was just on the eggs, now outside the nest. She looks to be ok. 3:00 pm.

Thank you for that update, Carol. I hope Cadence is also okay.

At 9 am the resident female spent a few minutes with her eggs, vocalized (no sound on site), then left.

Somethings up as the male spends more time on the eggs! Mom, very little and as Kathy O said last night, she may be sore on her chest and hard to lay fully on eggs! We also thought this male reminds us of Kaver <3

Female came into the nest at 5:03 pm. Went down tight on the eggs. Left at 5:10 pm.

Yes! He does look like our Kaver.

I'm assuming these are the male and female. Never really saw them together in the same frame!

Thought I'd start a new thread just for these two and if Cadence is still around, it can be posted under the Cadence thread, if that's OK!

I think that is a very good idea, Donna.

Thanks for the heads up Donna, cam is up and will watch while I work.  I wouldn't think she'd come back after that decisive battle but what do I know.  Hoping it's someone else.

Ok I just had three in view, large female flying around building..doing donuts and here she comes again.

That female is HUGE whoever she is, mom went up after her.  Cam is panning.

Mom just came in with female on her tail, she smacked mom and veered off.  Well certainly Cadence's M.O.

[Donna]

Moms wing is kinda droopy!! I'm getting so worried!! Dad helped a bit but he's worried about the eggs!!

It's pretty intense right now, both in air.

Another falcon is flying around with resident mom right behind her.  Please let this be a newbie that mom will be able to dispatch quickly!

This is horrible to watch!! One of them just slammed the other in air!!

The 'intruding female' is the faster one, she's one a mission it seems.  I saw her slam and/or smack mom a few times.  I can see why she tries to lure mom into the air, she's superior in the air.  And I see why mom retreats to the igloo ..woah did you see that????  She just smacked mom in the talons..mom flipped up ..oh my god!  I think mom was trying to catch her maybe??
