Cadence has proven she is a very strong female who is persistent and doesn't give up!! Hopefully, this will resolve sooner rather than later and they can move on to being parents...fingers crossed...

I must leave for chores, but will keep the recorder on the cam...hopefully, all will remain calm...if there is such a calm in the PeFa world...

I personally do not think this is a weak male. If its another female PeFa out there, he's doing what he's supposed to do and stay with the kids..Hopefully, if he can get more time out there, he can successfully hunt...sounds like he's had very little time to do that. If Cadence is tied up with an intruder, she's not hunting either..!!!!


I think he's weak, I've seen our males here - both Jack and Lucky help out while the female is incubating. In fact not one other female made it anywhere near the ledge during Angel or OC's incubation. The male moves them along - it's their job to clear air space. The female protects her nest box, the tiercel air space. He's a big tiercel too - and he's had weeks of time while she's incubating, where is his cache?


Well, you've had more experience than I have...let's hope he steps up for the chicks' sake...at this point, there's no other option..good question about the cache...they did start one..but, Cadence ate it...LOL

Cadence is currently in the igloo door. She's not vocalizing...just looking..

Looks like she's getting most bites into beaks...

She did drop one, but it went right into the baby's mouth...hilarious...Juliet did the same thing at Jersey...total fluke..

I tuned in just as Dad dropped the food off. It looks like Cadence's aim has improved a bit. Either that or the kids are a little less wobbly. Probably a bit of both.

No a few minutes ago, I thought she saw something in the air but may have been him or a TV or something as she didn't leave and settled on the kids.


sorry..I missed that...must have been when I was uploading pics...

To be honest, we don't know what Dad is doing while Cadence is at the nest. Now that there are chicks, he could be busy trying to encourage the intruder to move along, which would take him away from hunting. The cache may also be somewhere else this year that we can't see. Perhaps Mom recovered from her wounds and is back. Dad knows her and may not engage her. My goodness, Newton was visiting both Bolt (her prior mate) at the bridge and Stacker (her new mate) at the Terminal Tower at the same time. Bolt did not drive her out, even when he had a new girlfriend. My understanding is that serious battles are usually between like sexes. It is rare for a male to engage a female in a serious battle...she is usually trying to court him and he wants the stronger female. I don't think Dad is weak. It's hard to know what is really happening here.

Good thoughts and theories, Nadia...

2:10...mom just left...no vocals, but she was watching something in the sky and just sort of "lifted" off...

Kids are alone..

I think she must have been watching dad who was trying to land..

Image

As she took off, the wind caught her and it looked like she went straight up..

Image

Dad coming in..and probably missed his desired landing spot..

Image

and a cross wind caught him..

Image

Image

Dad must be a distant relative of Durand...he wants his babies where he wants them..

:sigh

We do not know what dad or Cadence is doing outside of cam view.

Cadence is clearly improving with her feeding skills. Dad clearly is devoted to the chicks and eggs. Cadence doesn't seem to mind letting Dad take over for long periods of time vs most females at this age would rather stay with the young chicks and refuse or be hesitant to leave when the male comes in.

Do we wish there was more food? heck yea...

Is there a cache? We don't know..

When Cadence relieved Dad earlier today, it wasn't that long before he came back with fresh prey and Cadence did a good feed..

Mom has just returned. (2:41)

At this point, that's all I know...LOL

Eyases have been unguarded for over 10 minutes now. I'm hoping it's warm enough there and they will be okay.
