P12
Feb 16, 2023
6 am Yesterday's female came, perched, apparantly guarding from - likely another female offcam -
went inside - left. I think its the banded one. Flash has courted 2 females for several years ( at least 2 )

6.45 am THE 2 GIRLS ARE FIGHTING!
Is P12 a juvie?

7 am Lady musta run off the juvie P12
Both she and Flash did a 2 second bow dance inside box, then she left

Blue band P 12 - black over blue

Welcome to Racine, Bev! :biggrin:

I click in daily but no sound or DVR - I miss that.
I see them daily. Flash rockets inside and begs her to come in.
She'll perch on the green and preen.
If Flash LEAVES she'll go in and peck around.
So they are mated again.

No bands

( Union NJ looks eggy )

Unbanded falcon dancing around the nest box… in the nest box…out next to the nest box, mostly out of sight on the perch, then up on the roof of the nest box, now out of sight…

Yes they are both unbanded.

EGG 1 ?
March 23, 2023
6.40 am She is in the box and appears to be laying an egg.
Flash flies in but remains on green, does not go inside.
After a bit he went in very carefully.
They danced and he left

Its TIME for an egg. We cant see inside so we dont know til a week after chicks hatch.

Judging by the changed behavior of both Flash and Lady, I suspect 2 eggs.
I will always wish we could SEE

2 eggs
March 29, 2023
She usually lays 4 eggs - she was inside all night last night - so she has eggs.
NOT full incubation yet - so likely 2 eggs.

6.30 am Flash is there inside with prey

ALL IS WELL :egg19:

April 15, 2023
Flash arrived before dawn today for his turn on their eggs.
He is such a good Daddy! He usually has 4 eggs, but since there is no cam inside the box we never know til the chicks hatch. Sometimes his mate is banded, sometimes its this girl.

3 eggs ? or more?
April 21, 2023
She is scooting around as if hatch is near

HATCH?
April 27, 2023
7 am Flash was on the eggs, when he suddenly looked down, looked around, looked confused and flew out and away. After a short while Lady came and looked surprised he was gone. I figured he'd gone for prey - and sure nuff. He showed up with nicely dressed prey. I love this male!

He left with the prey, for whatever reason - but I figure either a hatch or close.

ALONE
April 28, 2023
2.30 pm The eggs / baby(s) were left ALONE at least 15 minutes.
I've checked often and when I checked at 2 no one was home.
It was 2.15 before Flash arrived.

4 pm Still no sign of Lady

At dawn Flash is still inside the box.
I have no idea if Lady ever returned - - or why she left.

7.30 am Lady showed up with prey. WHEW!!!
But she left again - with prey.
Flash remains baby sitting
This is a strange situation ... role reversal??
