Finally, some action...Renetta...very vocal and in and out of the igloo...I can only assume Mitchell was on the other side...he never came in..

Sorry for so many pics...I got carried away!!!

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the cam yet today...

I was finally able to get the cam...There's a falcon in the igloo that is NOT Mitchell or Renetta...I'll have pics in a few...OMG...Oh man....Hope I"m wrong..we really need the cam back!!!

Maybe this explains Renetta's posture yesterday..

Oh...and there was another falcon with this one...but, I don't know who!! So, two birds..bowing to each other in igloo..

OK..first round of pics...I'll process more later...

First falcon appears, then leaves..could be Mitchell? but, not sure..this falcon is too comfortable with the other falcon.

Enter other falcon~notice the chest markings..neither Mitchell or Renetta have these markings.

This falcon is joined by a second falcon. I couldn't see the bands of the falcon outside the igloo..2nd falcon didn't stay long..haven't seen it since.

Band pics (and inside pics for size)...I can't make them out...

Same mystery falcon

I'll work on more pics later...
Nobody is there now...and the cam is iffy...

I am having zero luck with band ID..even if he/she held it up in front of the cam, I still don't think I cou

OMG...fight in the box

Not the best vid and unfortunately, I wasn't recording the other cam, which may have shown more...

Unknown falcon is making itself at home in the box (as I type this, it appears Mitchell is now in the box~!!!!!!!! Way to go, big guy!!!) when it is ousted!!!

OK...Renetta has arrived...I can't tell, but she may be injured...OR could have just finished a meal...but the right side of her neck looks strange..she seems to be acting ok....

Beth · **Posted:** Wed Jan 23, 2013 2:07 pm

I hope she isn't hurt...Do not like this!!

She's probably fine...just the right side of her neck/crop looked strange...maybe she had just had a huge meal...

She's gone now..

Looks like a sub-adult, born 2011. Especially the area around the eyes looks quite pale. Bands seem to be quite dirty.
I didn't even know the cams were back . . . :roll:

Sure hope they can go out to the island soon to secure those cables.

Sorry its taken me so long...I was able to check the cam for about a 4 hr period (on and off)...Everything looked great and lots of visits by both Renetta and Mitchell (they were in the box together 3 times that I saw...guess figured they needed to renew their "vows" after the intruders yesterday..)

First, just a few pics..

This is probably Mitchell, but without seeing his feet, can't be 100% sure...(remember, there was a second intruder falcon yesterday)...anyway, not really sure what was going on here:

"he" left....then Mitchell came back and spent a long time in the box, preening and looking cute..just a few pics.

Renetta made a quick stop, then left

But, came back two more times for quite a while of bonding

This time, Mitchell was the one to leave and she stayed in the box...then I lost the cam..
