They are a gorgeous pair and I always thought Seneca was so striking as a juvie-so dark like Kaver.  My favorite pic of her is by Lou which he put on one of his great postcards.

The photos from the CMNH site are fantastic.  Here is another one of my favorites...

Chad and Chris at the CMNH website have posted some fantastic new shots of Seneca and Cheyenne. If you can access it, it's worth the visit.  Some of the pics show the "remarkable" flying ability of Seneca (she had very good teachers!) when they sighted a cat near the scrape! It also shows closeups of their 2 eggs.

I still can't access that page or the Cleveland falcon page. I don't get it. I've been on those pages for years til now.

Not all the pics, but a nice selection for those who can't access it...thanks to Chad & Chris & CMNH

Here's a sequence where we tried a different angle to try to see the eggs a little better. Even while they were off briefly we could only see two for sure, so maybe that's all. Here Cheyenne flew up, but then he took off before Seneca. She took off after him and then Cheyenne went back up on the eggs a short time later. In the second to last pic it looks like they are getting ready to race...

And here's Cheyenne flying with food (what looked to us like a yellow-bellied sap-sucker)-- he flew by the nest a couple times, probably wanting her to fly out for a food exchange. But then he landed, ate some, and flew out again before taking it up to the nest cubby...

And here's Seneca flying out with it...

Here's a sequence where the pair saw a cat walking on the bank under the road fairly close to the nest site and both started "intimidating" the cat into leaving the area. They showed their remarkable flight abilities, especially Seneca with some upside-down flying as she kept her head and eyes fixated on the cat. Neither of them came very close to the cat, as he couldn't have gotten to the nest ledge, and he escaped untouched. Here's Seneca displaying a graceful flip manuever (notice her big crop)...
