6:21 AM, I HEARD LIL DAD COME IN SCREAMING. SOUNDED LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE LEFT AFTER THAT THOUGH, GUESS HE WAS JUST SAYING GOOD MORNING TO NIECEY :-)

6:24, NIECEY LEFT, LIL DAD CAME IN SCREAMING AGAIN AND WENT INTO THE SCRAPE TO COVER THE EGGS. HOPEFULLY HE WILL STILL BE THERE WHEN IT GETS LIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE MORE.

WELL LIL DAD JUST NOW CAME BACK IN TO COVER THE EGGS, NOT SURE WHAT THAT WAS ALL ABOUT. IT WAS AT LEAST 8 MINS THEY WEREN'T COVERED.

No white arrow this morning, but it didn't appear right away yesterday. Lil Dad is peacefully incubating at the moment.

Saw that nest exchange. Actually Niecey was there about 15 minutes ago. Couldn't see her then, but did see her shadow.

Great series of pictures. Missed that due to phone calls. I now have that white arrow thing on the cam screen again. Right smack dab in the center.

ABOUT 10 MINS TILL 1PM, I WENT UP TO SEE LIL DAD WHO WAS PERCHED ON THE POINT. NO SOONER DID I GET THERE AND HE LOOKED UP AND TOOK OFF OUT TOWARDS ABERDEEN. AT FIRST I JUST SAW HIM FLYING AROUND, FIGURED HE WAS WARNING SOMETHING TO STAY AWAY. THEN ALL THE SUDDEN THERE WAS A SMALLER LOOKING FALCON AND THEY BOTH SEEMED TO BE JUST FLYING AROUND TOGETHER, BUT THEN LIL DAD WOULD DIVE BOMB THE SMALLER ONE. I TRIED TO GET PICTURES, BUT BY THE TIME I GOT TO A WINDOW WHERE I SAW ALL THIS, IT WAS TOO FAR TO TAKE A PICTURE, SO ALL I COULD DO IS WATCH. THEY ENDED UP OUT OF SIGHT SO I CAME BACK TO FIND THE EGGS UNCOVERED. FIGURED NIECEY WENT TO CHECK ON LIL DAD OR SOMETHING. THEN I HEARD SOMEONE RUNNING TO THE SCRAPE, WHAT DO YOU KNOW, IT WAS LIL DAD, YEAH! BESIDES A FEW SHOULDER FEATHERS OUT OF PLACE, HE LOOKS OK :-)

I noticed the eggs were uncovered, but not for very long. Wonder if the other bird could have been a Kestrel? I'm pretty sure Kestrels nest somewhere over on the Capitol dome. Once when I was on the Chestnut Street garage roof, a Kestrel perched itself on top of the steeple. Looked so tiny.

THERE WERE JUST 3 FALCONS FLYING FLYING AROUND WHILE LIL DAD WAS ON THE EGGS! LIL DAD NOW SAW ONE AND TOOK OFF. WENT TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AND NOW I SEE NIECEY IS BACK. THE PERSON WHO SAW THE OTHER 3 SAID THEY REALLY WEREN'T FIGHTING OR ANYTHING, JUST FLYING AROUND TOGETHER.

I feel a trip to downtown coming up after an appointment this afternoon. The appointment won't take very long. Niecey looks uneasy. And this isn't an April Fool's joke is it?

NO JOKE, I WOULDN'T KID ABOUT THIS SORT OF THING.

YEAH! I HEAR LIL DAD. MAYBE HE'S SAYING HE WANTS THE EGGS BACK SINCE HE DID A GOOD JOB GETTING RID OF THE OTHER FALCONS :-)

Wow! Way too much going on in the skies there. Hope that doesn't continue. Thanks so much Reenie for your watchful eyes and wonderful pictures this morning.

I wonder if it's kids from a previous year flying in the area?
