I don't know if this is DC or the Unbanded male, but I don't think Beauty has had company at night for a long time and that may be why she is so vocal tonight.

She has now tucked her head and is sleeping... still perched on the front lip of NB .. 1:55AM

1:58 something got her attention and she started peeping again. After a minute, she tucked her head again.

2:04am - male calling. B not responding. She's sleeping.

So I am now 100% positive the male is somewhere close. Probably above her. Unfortunately, I don't know which male.

2:25 and he's still calling. B is not going to get any rest tonight. She's peeing back to him

Almost positive it's unbanded male. Squeaking lots at 2:33

2:40 am and it's like they are having a full blown conversation. Waiting for him to show up on deck. Reminds me of when I met my husband and we talked for hours into the night...

2:46 she flew off

2:46 flyby visible on cam 4
2:48 male arrives on deck next to main cam talking entire time
2:49 he flew off

This was not DC. Squeaky

3:05 and no one has returned. Time for bed. Will be interested in what happens tomorrow am. This male seems smitten with B. talk about chattering. I feel sorry for B because she is so close to laying and I feel like she's vulnerable here. At least he seems protective - he was at the box within a minute of her leaving.

B in nest box, then flew. Next UT in box, had a small feather on beak. Food gift for B? UT gone again.

UT in nest box (from about 10 minutes ago).

He's really cute, but I can't believe the change in events here. Early yesterday, it looked like all was well between Beauty and DC. Then all of a sudden this unbanded male appears and turns everything upside down. I don't know what to think, and I especially don't know what the falcons are thinking.

I guess all we can do is watch and wait to see how this all plays out. But I really don't like this waiting game!

Beauty in nest box. She's been there for quite some time now, working on the scrape, playing with pebbles, etc.

B & a male at the box. Don't know which male.

She's in the box now, but he left.

Yeah, I heard them about 30 seconds before they landed so this microphone pics up sound from a distance. They were talking up a storm! :dancingegg:

Hey Carly, in your first pic you can see a band, so that was DC. Can't see any bands in second pic.
