I KNOW IT'S HARD TO SWALLOW CRICKET, BUT IF WE DON'T TRY TO BE POSITIVE RIGHT NOW UNTIL WE ACTUALLY SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN, WE WILL MAKE OURSELVES SICK AND THAT WON'T DO ANYONE ANY GOOD. WE NEED ONE BIG GROUP HUG RIGHT NOW! :bughug:

I think this is NB perched on the point as of 240PM

Hmm i wonder, it looks like his breast feathers are more russet colored than Lil Dads and almost like those when NG first appeared. I am wondering if he may be readying to father his first clutch as a new father?

It was on December 11 when Sue and I were downtown and saw the episode with the third falcon. I said this before, I would NOT call what we observed a fight, more like a chase. There is NO WAY of knowing the identity of the other male falcon. When I go downtown to watch the falcons, I try to give an accurate report of what I have observed without giving opinions.

I WOULD THINK "IF" LIL DAD IS ON VACATION, HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN COMING BACK DEC 11TH. I'M HOPING IF HE WASN'T ON VACATION, HE JUST MOVED ON AND LET THEM HAVE THE LEDGE RATHER THAN BATTLE THIS BIG NB BOY! MAYBE SOMEDAY WE WILL FIND HIM ON ANOTHER CAM IF HE DOESN'T SHOW UP HERE :-)

TRYING TO BE POSITIVE..............

Does anyone recall when Lil Dad typically returns from his winter vacation? If I had time, I'd go back and sort through, but today there's just too much to do.

I don't know about other years, but a couple of years ago, I remember that he came back for short periods twice before his "permanent" return for nesting season. I believe that he left about Thanksgiving & his first return was in January. Since migrating birds don't typically return "permanently" until nesting season, I would think it would be late February or early March before he would return for nesting season. That's my recollection, but its not necessarily accurate.

THE YEAR HE LEFT FOR SO LONG AND EVERYONE THOUGHT HE WASN'T COMING BACK WAS 2009/2010. HE DIDN'T RETURN UNTIL FEB 4TH. HE DIDN'T LEAVE LAST YEAR THAT WE KNOW OF PROBABLY BECAUSE HE WAS STILL TEACHING NG THE ROPES BEING AS SHE DIDN'T SHOW UP UNTIL SEPTEMBER.

I had a whole long post written and had to leave to answer the phone and I left it too long and it was lost. Oh Well! Maybe that was supposed to be.
