I know he was around for a bit.

You mean Archer?


They were in the nest box bowing to each other today. So no he hasn't.

im really through hearing about "poor beauty"--its just 2 sad----she
is not a victim---yes she didnt have babies this year but she is a beautiful
strong falcon, just like her mother dorothy--and next year she will likely have a nest
full of hatchlings---we need to STOP the pity talk--that's not what beauty is about

Archer just brought Beauty some breakfast! 

I just caught the tail end of them ee-chupping to each other before both took off...

I agree, she is a force to be reckoned with not a victim

Good to see Archer taking care of Beauty and as she's accepting his gift - all is right in their world. 
I guess he's just solidifying his bond with Unity - given she's the newer kid on the block and he has to put some work in on that and with no kids to worry about, this is as good time as any to do it. 

He's going to be exhausted by end of summer with two girls to please and all that territory to defend.  I wonder where he migrates to, got to give the guy an 'A' for stamina

He needs a vaca after all this. Maybe if no eggs hatch at KP, he'll decide to migrate early! Can't blame him!

I've wondered if they have another nest site if/when they migrate to South America...don't many of the PFs migrate to there?

We don't know for sure. What we've learned over the past 10 years is that almost everything the experts told us was either wrong or no longer applicable.

This year is one for the books. Speaking of pictures from the falconcam, Shaky, is there any chance that Harlequin's feed of the banding day that is being sent to their NY offices, can be streamed to rfalconcam?  Just asking...

I couldn't agree more. I don't like the situation with Archer, Beauty, and Unity either, but that's the way it is.  It's not right to saddle these falcons with our own human emotions.  Neither female is a victim. I joined this list many years ago to watch falcons carry on their lives, not to burden them with human expectations of what they should do or how they should feel.

Why not watch it on Harlequin's site?
