Yes, i think we would all appreciate it if Lil Dad would skip the winter vacation! Meanwhile we have someone on the stick at about 3:30 this afternoon.

Thanks for posting the pictures, Ciuciek. Not sure who's on the shield on your first one, but pretty sure it's Lil Dad on the stick. Agreed that it would be nice if Lil Dad decided not to migrate this year. Several of us were at the Conowingo Dam in Maryland today. We saw our very own Little One from 2011 and his mate. Wish all of you who read this forum could have watched him repeatedly bombing the abundant Bald Eagles.

Ciuciek · 7:00 am, I think it's Lil Dad

WE WENT TO SEE LIL ONE FROM 2011 YESTERDAY AT THE CONOWINGO DAM. HERE ARE 4 PICTURES OF LIL ONE WHO HAD A RED BELLIED WOODPECKER AND TWO OF HIS MATE. IT WAS VERY CLOUDY AND FALCONS WERE FAR AWAY, WISH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN BETTER PICTURES TO SHARE, MAYBE ANOTHER TIME. I TOOK 1377 PICTURES YESTERDAY, DIDN'T GET THROUGH THEM ALL YET, LOL!

I am just "curious George" i guess, but if memory serves me correctlt 2 bald eagles had a nest on one of the two high tension wire towers below the dam. My big riddle after reading reports from the no fly zone is how did they manage to coexist in close proximity to each other? I think i may have to go down to connowingo during nestin season to see how well the can "play together" -from my own personal bellfry--> :batty:

what can i say, im often told that i have bats in my bellfry

Wonderful to see Lil Dad's Son,( "LO" 2011) again and his Mate "White Girl" (LO's) who was born on the Walt Whitman Bridge where Lil Dad was born too. It was a wonderful day with a lot of activity. I took 179 pictures. We stayed for 6 hours. Very hard to leave a place like that. You feel so connected to these Falcon's as we know their history. A GREAT DAY, and the rain held off.

George, I've heard from reliable sources that on Three Mile Island, there are 3 types of birds of prey that nest near each other: falcons, bald eagles & osprey.

Glad that Lil One decided to nest near where he hatched so that we can keep tabs on him! :loveshow:

YOU ARE RIGHT CATWOMAN. ALL 3 RESIDE ON 3 MILE ISLAND. ACTUALLY THERE IS AN OSPREY NEST CLOSE BY THE FALCONS NEST. WE SAW THE OSPREY EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN JANE AND I WENT DOWN. THE FALCONS ARE JUST PRACTICING WITH THE EAGLES I BELIEVE, JUST KEEPING IN PRACTICE FOR EACH YEAR, THERE ARE SO MANY BLACK VULTURES AND EAGLES IN THAT AREA, THEY COULD NEVER BE SERIOUS ABOUT TRYING TO GET THEM ALL TO GO AWAY. BESIDES, YOU SHOULD SEE THE FALCONS FLY THROUGH THOSE STEEL STRUCTURES! LIKE BULLETS ON A MISSION! NO OTHER BIRD COULD DO IT SO WELL :-)

I SEE THE CAM IS STUCK SINCE 1:01 PM TODAY :-(

HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL FIX THAT SOON :-)

Jane · **Posted:** Sun Oct 20, 2013 6:13 pm

I just discovered that the cam is stuck, too. BUT I got in a half hour falcon fix downtown from around 5-5:30 this afternoon. Found Lil Dad over on the point of the U roof, and Niecey on the shield. Lil Dad flew over and landed on the window sill for a bit, then took off, circled around, and landed on the point where he sat for maybe five minutes. He took off down Market Street around 5:25, and didn't look like he was on a mission. Niecey was still on the shield when I left. Looked for Lil Dad's Bluejay head on Aberdeen, but didn't see it anywhere.

LIL DAD ON THE SHIELD AND POSSIBLY NIECEY OVER ON THE UNIV ROOF?

Reenie, thanks so much for the pictures of LO and White Girl ( Phila.) @ Conowingo. It is SO special to know who is who, so we can follow them. Thanks to the dedication of the Bandings. They are Special, everyone!! :hallcat:

So happy to hear of Lil Dad and Niecey this morning too. A colder morning 46 degrees here in Wilm.

Jane , thanks for your "eyes on" reporting the other day. Glad you saw them. Didn't find that head, huh!!!
