She won't chase him off Kitty. IF DC is injured or ill, she has to protect her eggs and ensure they hatch safely. She'll wait it out and if DC is gone then she'll take a new mate if she has to. The tiercel has to gain her acceptance and trust so she has nothing to lose by being patient.

I know-that's why I thought possibly UT. She'd chase a female, but not necessarily chase a male...particularly one she already knows. |

I know DC can be funny sometimes but no way he'd not be here by now begging for egg time, especially not so close to hatch. Maybe there was an altercation. They hide their injuries too so a predator can't see they are vulnerable.
An hour late is one thing but almost 6 hours is quite another.

Just hope whatever it is he will be OK. Joyce is on watch. |

Wilmington just realized yesterday their tiercel has been displaced sometime during the past 2 weeks...a few weeks ago at hatch CJ was there and now a unbanded male is there so I know it happens..even to the strong ones. I hope DC is okay and I adore him but with populations increasing I have to be realistic too. They have such tough lives.
My primary concern now is those eggs and Beauty. She's sat on them for so long and her and DC make good babies so I pray, whatever happens, she gets to raise some offspring. And if something is to happen to him then at least part of him will live on in these potential babies and with B as a mom..well you can't ask for a better falcon parent than her.
Don't mean to be depressing or anything but darn it..we're so close now...!!

This is the strangest day I've had in a long time. Sure hope everything goes back to "normal" soon, as normal as Rochester gets. New pefa, no DC but B is not the least bit alarmed by any of it it would appear. The girl needs to eat though! She took a relief break for just a minute or so.

When Beauty defeated Mariah, it was said that Archer helped Beauty drive Mariah to the ground.
If DC had a fight with UT this AM and is laying up at BS, is it possible Pigott was involved and might also be injured? When was Pigott last seen?

Pigott was seen this morning with DC at BS..she was whining alot from the sounds of it but seemed otherwise fine and flew off awhile ago. |
