Thank you for making a topic for Aria  .  All is well here, quiet day for the falcons save for a Red Tail Lucky had a bit of a dance with.

We will keep an eye out for them and hope this was just a one time thing and not a reconnaissance by the mystery female for a future attempt at moving in.

I agree!  Aria definitely needed her own topic! Glad things are so far, so good!  Thanks for keeping an eye on them, Carly!

Lucie stayed until about 3 pm and I just got home myself.  I did a tour around the buildings after I left the office to count heads.  Aria was perched on the ledge next to the nest ledge, she has some leftovers stashed there.  Lucky was out back of the West Tower on the Moneris sign.

Both of them stuck close to the site and rested.  Aria barely left the ledges save to go hunting and Lucky accompanied her and came back with her.

Aria just popped up on cam, it refreshed and suddenly she had food

Good morning!  Aria is perched on the web cam this morning and Lucky is on the nest box visible on cam.  Hopefully it's another peaceful day today.

Nice quiet day here today, saw both on and off today.  Happy to say 'nothing unusual to report'

Good morning from Aria!  Cold and first snow expected tonight!  Both on site this morning.

Another quiet, peaceful day at the site.  Aria has been on the nest ledge most of the day.  Snow on the way tonight.

I notice she's been very quiet since the 'visitor' the other day, a learning experience for her I expect.

        That intruder must not have been O’Connor then?

Hard to say Kris without looking at bands- from the ground at first I sure thought it was her but I wouldn't think she would leave again - it would certainly not be in keeping with the O'Connor I know.  She certainly acted like she owned the place and seemed to know the ins and outs of the buildings and ledges - I just don't know - an offspring maybe?.  I don't what we missed that day but obviously something happened when all 3 were out of our sight as she hasn't been back since.

I do think we'll have to be vigilant as Aria being young will make her a beacon for an older, more dominant female thinking they can move in easily.  Hopefully once her hormones kick in for the first time in February, she'll emulate her sister and her mother.  I think she's a smart girl, she's strong, she's a great flier and hunter and the rest Lucky will teach her until she comes into her own as an adult.  That's my sincere hope anyway.
