Nah, I knew he'd show up sometime Ei. Now he has double -duty probably. Let's see how this all goes down.

Just teasing-you know that!  



He really is a handsome fellow!

Maybe this two female thing isn't working out so well for the little man.  Good thing Beauty's a strong Peregrine-looks like she's going to need that strength to get through this nesting season with a part-timer.

Absolutely, he is cute. Hard to stay mad at him.

I see no evidence that it isn't working so far. Yes she has a longer sit with the eggs but when he does come he stays longer and gives her more of a break. Time will tell. We don't like it because we are monogamous. The real test is when we have a hatch. But he is a good hunter and there is lots of prey so everything should work out.

I think he can handle both but I'm sure by September, he'll be ready for a long vacation! Since we only know of a few instances where this has happened, (mainly because of web cams), who knows, this may be a normal thing and it's happening more than we think.

Peregrine falcons are monogamous, but there are a few documented accounts where males provided food to females at two eyries simultaneously (Nelson, 1990).   Found this on the USGS site.

Peregrine Falcons are mostly monogamous, and often remain with their breeding partner throughout the non-breeding season. Oracle Thinkquest

I'm looking for info on this but nothing really documented on this topic.

Although I don't think it's fair to Beauty or Lady Pefa I will hold my reservations until eggs hatch. Only then will we see how well Archer handles himself. I was ticked off at Archer yesterday for making Beauty wait until almost 9:00am before relieving her. Like you said Donna it's hard to stay mad at the little cutie! Today I'm over it!   One thing I can say is we watchers are going to be busy if there are eggs at Kodak too!

Beauty left for a sec.
