Based on listening to a quick audio and the excitement between both birds, if there are 3, sounds like Spark might be back.

This is anybody's guess, I think. bird that went to other ledge could have flown off and then came up to nest ledge. Just do not know. They do not have to fly off, in our view LOL the ledge is long.

Thanks Bev. I agree, it's hard to know if the bird that flies to the adjacent ledge is the same bird that later flies to the nest ledge. You never see anyone leave the adjacent ledge. I gather Durand arrived on the nest ledge first. She walks toward the box, but then comes back out on the ledge. A bird flies up to the adjacent ledge. You really don't know if this bird ever leaves that ledge. Durand heads for the box and then you see a bird fly up to the nest ledge, so that there are now two on the nest ledge. Not sure who leaves first, but only two leave the nest ledge and Durand was clearly upset.

Thanks for the vids, Bev!!!... :leafthumbs:

I've got the same footage, so not sure I can add very much video wise.

Because of the poor visibility and the out of sync cams, I'm not even gonna try to figure this one out..

I was pretty sure I had seen 2 birds land. I knew Durand was at the box door, outta view (I could see her subtle shadow in my vids.) I thought the second falcon landed on the nest ledge, but not 100% sure of that. My footage only shows 2 falcons leaving. I think the first falcon leaving was maybe Durand. she really bolted out of that box. Why she (or he) looks so funky in that second pic is beyond me, but the falcon recovered nicely in the third pic I posted. In my 4th pic, falcon looks smaller...maybe because its leaving from the next ledge and/or its definitely male.

Spark often would land on that next ledge...I'm not saying this was Spark...but, many times I would see him land but never see him leave.

Hopefully tomorrow will give us better clues

Very short versions of Bev's vids..

The audio is from the Box cam Only..ledge audio is turned off.

2 birds leaving the nest area. I think the first is Durand...but, only a guess..because the box cam is behind the ledge cam, Durand is still chilling and chupping in the box during this.

Durand leaving the box

I must have deleted my footage of at least 2 birds arriving...which started all of this..

Here's our girl Durand! I heard two long whines from her so far...... Boy photobucket is crazy this morning....

Have to leave shortly so I am really glad I got to see her before I leave.

7:50~Durand lands and goes briefly into the box..She's still on the ledge at 8:20...

I've been called into to work, so I won't be any help..I'll be back late afternoon...

Happy watching..

good morning, Sally!! Have a great day!!

I'm home this week, doing heavy duty cleaning, so I will leave my laptop on so I can hear it. Lol...I'll probably burn my computer out. :teehee:

I don't know how to record though, but I'll catch whatever I can. I'll be working in the room where my computer is, so hopefully I won't miss much.

Haven't been able to check on the falcon family much recently, since I recently moved down to Cincinnati. The few times I do check nobody has been home!

So good to see them again!! Hopefully whatever alarmed Spark and Durand was just passing through! I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary this morning, so here's hoping for a quiet day!

Hi Anowl! We've had a new male at the box and Spark has not been seen since mid Sept. There may have been 3 falcons yesterday, but that is uncertain. I would really like to see Spark make an appearance at this point to show that he still holds this territory with his beloved Durand.

Nadia · **Posted:** Tue Oct 11, 2016 11:23 am

She just did it again. Very brief visit to the ledge with bowing and e-chupping and then took off. I have yet to see her in a relaxed state - just hanging out, preening.

I caught a pic...

slow start for me but my cam is up and recorder on. Will do what I can

Nadia · **Posted:** Tue Oct 11, 2016 2:25 pm

It's been quiet with an empty ledge for a few hrs now. Hoping this is a good sign. I have to disconnect my computer at this point, so happy viewing. I'll check back tonight.
