May 4 Sunday HAPPY SUNDAY!
5.00 am Diane came home - she wasnt there 15 minutes ago before I checked Notts.
SWINWK said she spent the night - that was after midnight.
Preening in the doorway - has anyone noticed a small *something* top right corner?

6.30 am Male arrives at the doorway with a large blackbird
It appeared to me he threw it at her - cam angle makes it hard to judge
She took it, standing in her scrape bowl (?) - then she left with the pray
and LOL!!!! Left the male standing in the doorway watching out - LOL!!!!
I think its the male?? WHO is this - her or him? Even watching I cant tell. (boo hoo)

:ohyes:

Male with gift

Did he throw it at her - or did she take it?

WHO is left standing??? - Diana or male with gift?
Now (he?) is preening. Is he guarding *THEIR* nest while she is away consuming his gift?
Curiouser and curiouser. It pays to rise early!!

SIDE NOTE
Diana isnt the only interesting, unusual falcon nest 2014.
On another blog I noticed 2 females competing for the nestbox.
The old falcon was laying white eggs (common with aging bird) and eating them,
suddenly a red-brown egg appeared in the box and everyone wondered - huh!?
Then they caught a picture of a new female in the box.

LOL!!

Xcel Energy King Plant - Bayport, MN
It certainly is interesting there. I never heard of a bird eating its own egg.
Young that passed yes but not an egg.

Post on falcon eating their egg here

I had the feeling sky didnt want us to post links to other blogs.

Thanks Sheperd! We do have a topic for that nest here in BCAW too, & I kinda thought that was the nest you meant because I remember reading something about that in that topic. Here is the link in case you don't have it:

May 5 Monday
4.15 am No one home
6.10 am Glimpsed a falcon outside on rail
6.14 Both appear, she enters, he doesnt
- I dont know if she is chasing male away or what is going on

11.11 am She showed up with a male - but he only looked in, didnt enter
I do not understand this behavior. Her hackles are not up, thats all I can notice.
Can anyone tell if there are 2 different males? :egg16:
