O'Connor and Lucky relaxing at the nest. They stayed for quite some time.









No bands visible to confirm ID, but Carly will know . . .

Awesome! Thanks again Alison!!!

Yes that is OC and Lucky, they've been hanging together on the ledge alot the past few days and they've been actively defending their territory against some red tails that have dared to hunt in it.  In fact again today I saw them both attacking one of them and driving her down into a back yard in the residential area.  

Then there is Mr and Mrs Crow and their brood right across the street - they've had some skirmishes since the Crows moved in last Spring.  I actually saw OC and Mrs Crow with talons locked spinning around in the air one day!  And a few weeks ago, they took the kids and raided one of Lucky's food stashes when he and OC were out of territory, likely down by the lake enjoying the nice weather we had back then.  One time I saw them actually team up and drive out a bunch of TV's...it's been interesting and sometimes terrifying to watch the interactions between them all.  Mrs Crow is massive, I mean massive..she's the same size as OC and she's not one bit afraid of her....I think she enjoys getting OC riled up  

Never a dull moment in our neighbourhood

Thanks, Carly! I had no idea that all these confrontations were going on with O'Connor and Lucky pitted against all those other birds! When I see them at the nest, they look so peaceable, and very comfortable with each other.

Yesterday I only saw one of them at the nest. Once again no bands visible.

I hadn't seen anyone on the ledge for a little while, but found Stormin and Erin bonding the other day:









Stormin left first, and then both were gone.

Good catch Alison, thank you!  They are roosting on a nearby building that is newer and higher than this one.  Linda keeps an eye on them so I knew they were safe but it's good to see them on cam!  Someone also caught RM and Tiago on their ledge bowing yesterday too so phew - all 4 safe and accounted for!
