Bird Cams Around the World

He must be on deck. ZOOM CAM 1

Carol:

Tiercel just went after 2 ducks!

Food exchange.

One of the boys just brought Beauty her dinner!

Could see him there on the corner. Hopefully he will come back to box.

Voice sounded like DC to me. The chirp.

ETA: and the call. DC calls when incoming. He also would wait for B outside box sometimes.

UT was so chatty with B last night. DC seems more the quiet type. This to me was quiet, except for the call & the chirping.

I'm almost positive it was UT last night. Just the amount of squeaking. And didn't he constantly whine for her when he was here? DC doesn't really whine for B in my opinion.

CAN YOU SEE THE BANDS!

I saw a black band on that picutre

B is back now, after a nice dinner... Wonder if she had ducky?

Looking at pictures from today. I'm convinced it was DC at the box the majority of day, except for the early morning when UT was on territory.

Here is a confirmed sighting of DC by MAK. He was at NB with Beauty 9:14AM ET



Now I compare this 4:55pm shot. We were unsure who this was. We all thought Beauty was in labor and this bird stayed the entire time. I am specifically looking at his heart shaped malar stripe in this photo:



And here is a shot from 4:18PM. Same visit from the photo above. I am looking at the white feather on his shoulder. Very similar to the 8:06pm picture below. And we know it was DC based on 8:05 photo below where his bands were visible:



Confirmed DC based on visible bands at 8:05pm after food delivery to Beauty:



Here's a picture from 8:06pm, showing the white feather, similar to the 4:18pm shot:



ALSO:

Yesterday, 4/14/13 at approx. 3:24pm a tiercel attempted to make a food delivery to B. Didn't happen and he ate the prey in front of B. At first, I thought it might have been UT because I thought it very odd that the exchange didn't happen and he ate instead of delivering. I know believe it was DC. I have tried to blow up the picture and point out bands:



AND 1 minute later, B is in the box and DC is finishing food. Band on left leg is very visible.

11:45pm - Very quiet. B is perched on beam in front of box. Occasionally looking up or around, but silent tonight.

Cam 2 streaming has been down for a few hours now.

From archives, B sat on front beam until 12:36. At 12:37, she jumped up to top of cam 4. She left at 12:49am. Returned at 1:08AM. She is perched on the side rail between cam 4 & main cam. Can't see her on stream, only on archives.

Each time I have checked on her, she has been quiet.

Funny, each night she takes a little break. Wonder if she's getting a snack. Wonder if peregrines do that normally, or just when they are about to lay due to increase calcium demands?

Time to shut down for the night.....

Reported that DC & Beauty just mated on Mercury.

Good Morning!!!

9:30am - B starts getting vocal, chupping, looking up.
9:31am - she starts whining call and flew off.

Think I hear male in distance, chirping. Yes...

MAK tweet: 9:32: DC took leftovers to P in cubby. Lots of echupping then he flew out circled above the cubby and left the area

9:41 - male close - just heard single chirp. I don't see him, so he may be above box.

9:42 - someone just arrived quietly on deck, other side of main cam. I think it's B. After a meal, she seems to sit there for a few minutes before moving closer to box.

I can hear male chirping in distance (again, I think up above). Yes, B is looking up.

9:45am - she's moved up to beam in front of box, facing out.

MAK: 9:53 - B at NB and DC above at the NE wing. See ya!

10:39am - B is sitting on beam, facing box, watching something and chuppng a little. Whining/calling for DC. Looking up.

Just heard DC calling - like his incoming call, so he may be in the air again. Then heard some squeaking.

B just jumped to top of cam 4 - standing, looking south.

10:42 - She just flew off in southern direction.

Can hear DC chirp in distance.

Carol:10:37AM At KP. Peregrine flew by window heading south. Looked dark to me. Do not know where it went.
