Palmyra tiercel is hanging out at the nest box all by himself....Seems he must like little Fiona or he’d be out chasing another girl to come be his mate....

OK, this is different..... Fiona is perched at the front of the nestbox porch dozing. The male is laying in the scrape inside the nestbox....???Poor guy- he tried making soft little chups to encourage her to stay. She waited for a long time, but then stepped off the porch and flew away..... :girlsad3:

Hello, Fiona- still driving your step-dad crazy, I see....The tiercel is standing IN the nest box, with Fiona standing on the ledge outside of the nestbox area....A strong- willed child.....

Fiona is back on the deck while the tiercel is standing in the nestbox bowing to her......

Now the tiercel is in the nestbox, barely peeking out and Fiona is out on the landing just standing there....

Burlington- Next week is possibly hatch week for Burlington?

Tsusan · **Posted:** Sat Apr 24, 2021 6:41 pm

Palmyra- Fiona is home alone standing in the nest box. I think she must like the tiercel or she wouldn’t hang around. Just isn’t ready for motherhood yet....

Fiona at one her favorite perches on a “sidebar” behind a post, with the tiercel standing in the nestbox....

BBB
only 4 eggs?

Hi Beth, I’m not sure of the # of eggs at Burlington Bridge, but I am pretty sure I saw a PIP in progress just now :biggrin:

So one egg lost at the Burlington Bridge. Should have a hatch by now, 43 days after the first egg.

At Palmyra, Fiona actually stepped into the nest box and bonded with the tiercel for a little bit :biggrin:

Glad you saw that, Tsusan...she's a little tease...

Pretty sure this is a pip..maybe the one you saw, Tsusan...

Egg lay dates are: 3/21, 3/23, 3/26, 3/29, 3/31...

I really don't think they are "late"...

Interesting!!!

The pip looks about the same, BTW.

Another sign of some peeping chicks - mom brought prey to the eggs :biggrin:

Beth · **Posted:** Tue May 04, 2021 7:02 am

We have a hatch @ BBB, waiting for her to move...
