You can now view the still images on both the ledge and nest box in Columbus. In the upper left hand corner of their site under the Ohio Wildlife logo are the tabs for access. YAY

The sun is shining in Buffalo today. :hapdance:

nice pic ljames!
Got this on my vid, but live camera stuck at that moment.
There were some clumsy manipulations of mine also,..... enfin, what you see is what you get :sum8:

Hey SGB - no unfortunately I did not witness it in person - I wish!!

There are alarm calls going on right now!!

anniet · **Posted:** Thu Mar 06, 2014 1:51 pm

I heard them too rosek.
It would have been Spark alarmcalling.
Durand stayed quiet.

Rosek, this must have been your canoodle moment I guess?
Two beautiful pics of Arles on our dutch forum at about that time

Durand was sitting on top of the box for some time, then Spark arrives and goes in.

ljames · **Posted:** Sat Mar 08, 2014 12:25 pm

Durand on the cam when Spark arrives. She heads to the box but he remains on the ledge. Then she leaves and he enters the box. :roll:

Maybe he just came for an egg check. :biggrin:

Here they are crossing paths on the ledge. Didn't get a pic of him in the box, as he was only there a minute. Seriously, I think he was looking for an egg.

Oh my word, just saw the cutest thing. Durand on the cam and became very excited. Spark arrives at the other end of the ledge with prey. They talk a minute, the both skip to the middle where she accepts her gift.
:flirty:

edit to add

sorry too busy watching to get pictures, but I did get the Durand Dive with the prey

Durand, I think, on the ledge making alarm calls, although, more of a warning than a panic.

edit:

All clear.

I heard that too. But things settled down quickly. I love listening to the church bells in Columbus and watching Durand and Spark - it's relaxing........

WOW...I missed all of that..

I just got to see all the flirting..Durand was on the end doing her wailing and whining...I think she was inviting Spark for a Canoodle..but, all he wanted to do was go into the nest box..and she wouldn't go down there..it was a stand-off. I had to leave so don't know how it turned out.

Durand was REALLY trying to get him to come, and he wouldn't..LOL

but, I did get a good luck at her bands...

ljames · **Posted:** Sat Mar 08, 2014 7:56 pm

Well it's after dark now and I can hear them carrying on like crazy. Can't see them, maybe a food delivery.

Sally · **Posted:** Sun Mar 09, 2014 9:29 am

Good morning from Columbus. I am pretty sure this is Durand enjoying the view!

:shamrock:

ljames · **Posted:** Sun Mar 09, 2014 2:36 pm

Both were in the box just now bonding. He was there first, I think, and she ran down the lower ledge to join him. He left first.

Here he is on the way out. :sham6:

Cam kept freezing, so no good pictures.
