While in town this morning looking for dead window strike birds, we saw both falcons! RG was sitting on the ledge of the nest box and CJ was on the ledge next to the nest box.

Heads found below the box included:
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Red-eyed Vireo
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Yellow-billed Cuckoo

GLAD YOU SAW THEM BOTH KIM! DOESN'T IT JUST MAKE YOUR DAY? BOY, THEY SURE DO HAVE FANCY DINING TASTE! WISH THEY WOULD STICK TO THE PIGEONS, BUT OUR'S DON'T ALWAYS EITHER :-(

RED GIRL HAS BEEN IN THE BOX FOR QUITE SOMETIME! SHE'S BEEN SCRAPING, SITTING IN THE SCRAPE AND WORKING ON ALL THE EDGES IN THE BOX. VIDEOS TO FOLLOW WHEN THEY ARE DONE UPLOADING.

Didn't know how long she had been in the box, but I was watching Red Girl during her visit to the box this morning. Nearly fainted when I saw her in there, as I usually strike out when checking in.

Know what you mean Jane. Never am lucky either. Kim your findings on the street are interesting. Wow! they are doing well! I too wish for pigeons. Pumping gas the other day and watched a whole flock of pigeons flying in unison around the station. They all landed on a set of wires right near me. They do have a community amongst themselves. Interesting to watch. All of God's creatures!

Wonder what they are thinking while sitting in the scrape? Good to see her there for so long. Thanks for the videos Reenie.

Was just closing down and just saw Red Girl in the box. She was checking things out, moving all around. Didn't stay long.!! Whoopee!!!!! :leafrock:

She is back again, working on the scrape. I hate to leave, but must!

Jane · **Posted:** Thu Oct 20, 2011 7:22 am

I must have just missed her, for she's gone now. Glad you had luck, Faith.

CJ is on the box ledge. Red Girl is on the ledge all the way to the left (se).

Thanks for the report, Greg. I can envision those places.

You know who was in the box shortly after RG!

Great catch, Kim. CJ looks like a giant bat in the box!

The giant bat was back this morning! :)

Great catches, Kim! I also think CJ looks like a bat (but a cute one). :girlluv:

In the pic you caught of both of them, it looks like he's quite proud of his work on the scrape! :thumbup

Great pictures, Kim. CJ really does look like a bat!

I'm hoping I'll be able to catch sight of both Red Girl and CJ tomorrow afternoon when I'm in their neighborhood to see a film.
