This will be his third year, the first year he took over after TR mom's mate - Milton was injured.  TR mom was left raising 3 kids on her own and Jack swooped in to the rescue.

Last year was his first year being 'father' to eyases at both sites.

Ok, I thought longer.  Has he been spotted at both sites?

Margaret:  According to my research - I discovered about 3% of Tiercels have 2 nests, could be more as now we have falcon cams and watchers where we didn't before so the figure is just a guesstimate by scientists.

I am a watcher at a nest that has a 'bigamous' tiercel and it's been an experience I can tell you.   We've timed Jack one day going from site to site in 3 minutes and 47 seconds.   The distance between his two nests is somewhere between 4 and 5km on the ground, from the air I expect it's alot shorter as he doesn't have to deal with traffic and limitations of infastructure. 

Thank you for the information, Carly.  It is fascinating.  I agree with Bobbie that it is probably instinctual...spreading the genes.  And if Archer is going to spread genes, what great ones to spread!  
And I'm going to anthromorphize here, but it does sound like an awful lot of work...taking care of two "families".
