I received this report from Doug at Pt Colborne today (6/7/10)

He reports that he is sure he saw Quest in the nest box again at 1 pm today.  She stayed for about 1/2 hour.  Quest seemed interested in the box & checked out the scrape. He did not have his camera with him today, but will try to get a pic for us if she returns.

You'll remember that Freedom, Mariah and Kaver's first son, nested there for a few years and that this is where Archer was born.

I hope Doug is able to get pictures of Quest!

These people need to get a camera!  Carol, did he say what happened to the remaining egg (s) or pair there?

Such good news about a sighting of Quest!    Thanks for the update.  I hope they can keep us updated on more sightings.   Is there any camera close by that site or on -site?  Kind of cool that that is where Archer hatched.

Looks like Doug wasn't hallucinating...the transmitter don't lie!

I hope so too!  This is great news. Maybe she'll finally settle down. heart

In keeping with her past behavior, Quest seems only to be making day trips to the Port Colborne site.  The locus of her activity these days is in the Wesleyville & Port Hope area.

Wow...that was a quick trip back north-east!  But she does seem to be developing favorite hangouts.  Only time will tell!

When Quest was on Cape Cod/Nantucket we tried to track her down.  The gentleman who photographed her told us she was hanging out with a young male for a while.  Can't help but wonder if she sometimes has a travel companion now.  Could be a "mom's" wishful thinking, though.

There's nothing to say that couldn't be happening... too bad there isn't a tiny little camera on that transmitter of hers.

How much longer is it anticipated that the battery on her transmitter will continue to last?  Doesn't it have a finite lifetime that is near drawing to a close? (~2 years?)  I sure hope she settles down with a mate somewhere before that happens!

It's not actually the battery that wears out-it's solar powered.  It's the harness that holds the transmitter on that is expected to wear out.

Hopefully it does not fall off until we know where she has settled!  The transmitters used here often fall off sometime during the third year, but it depends on the harness used.

I'm hoping since the stitches in the harness were secured with nail polish instead of glue it will hold up a bit longer  Wink

Me too...don't you love all this high-tech stuff!?  Nail polish vs glue, actually neither was used here for the harness, and this year none of the birds were outfitted with a transmitter.
