Our friends at Kodak sent over a couple of pictures taken yesterday afternoon near 1PM local time, on the 18th floor balcony of the Kodak Tower.  The pictures show two adult Peregines, both about the same size, having a pretty intense-looking fight:

WOW I guess I better check around Kodak Office more often. I assumed Beauty and Unity would stay near their nests during this time. This is one problem we don't need to be happening right now. There's enough drama already. We watchers are ready to spring into action if need be.  pray

Good grief, glad they have both been seen.  Maybe they don't like sharing Archer and both feel threatened by the situation.  Not all falcons may accept this type of situation I guess - not for human type reasons but reasons of caring for offspring and territory.

I'd think Kodak Tower would be part of Beauty's half of the territory, so she was defending her nest.  Unity needs to stay in her half...maybe she didn't realize where the line is.

Let's just hope Unity stays near her nest and doesn't come looking for Archer and Beauty does the same.

My thoughts exactly.  I'd guess that Unity was ranging a little too far south and that her aunt decided to teach her where the line is.  Good news is that both falcons appear to have emerged unscathed from their little Donnybrook.

Oh my, those pics probably look more brutal than they are. Seems Unity is not in full incubation yet. I guess it was inevitable this was going to happen sooner or later. 2 BIG girls at it, guess they are no match for each other. Could have been just a warning brawl, as we all know Falcons mean to hurt if they really wanted to. Glad both are OK.

Darn.  I see the reddish band.  So glad the Kodak folks saw this and let us know.  Unity needs to stay at Kodak and hopefully will be busy with her own eggs.  Ok, I know it is nature but that darn Archer has been at the root of territorial squabbles, now, with two females. At least Unity is ok; we know from Mariah, that Beauty can do a lot of damage

The bands are pretty clear from the pictures.  Scary pictures, but I agree that if either one wanted to inflict lethal damage, she  could and would.  I hope the eggs hatch for Beauty and Unity starts hard incubation soon.    We really don't have  any idea of when Unity's first egg arrived?   Did n't some report from a Kodak Park worker say that there might be two?    If she is out and about, then a third egg is possible?
It would be tragic if something happened to either one. 
I agree, "that darn Archer".     
I thought Beauty's eggs would start to hatch by today.   Let's hope!   pray

I just looked at the main cam archive from yesterday and it looks like B left the NB shortly after 12:30 but didn't return until 4:11.   Did anyone else see that too? She was gone along time.
