This falcon looked like it was headed to the box...but, no clue..there was such a delay in getting to the box...so, no clue...

Don't really know CAtwoman, just trying to figure out and I believe 2 but...

need to look back on some ledge shots

I just wonder what is going on with the person manning the cam...they must be multi-tasking and not really watching it...

There appeared to be a lot of talking by the one that was on the ledge...zooming in as close as they did probably prevented us seeing if another falcon came to the ledge...geeeeeez...

OK..I'm giving this cam a rest...they need to pull it back...we will never have a chance of seeing if 2 are in the area at the same time...

now2 if Lil is gone , DAn will go and call for her. he will try and incubate for a few days and then he will have to feed to keep going. they do have stashes

I am hoping we are seeing 2 but I am just saying what will happen as I watched diss Edmonton go throuhg it We camped out there for almost 4 days

I am convinced that we have seen Lil today--could be wrong, but I do believe it was her. In fact, I believe that the last picture of the falcon on the ledge was Lil, so I'm breathing easier now.

I agree SGB . It is ticking me off.

this is who is there now

catwoman · **Posted:** Sat Mar 09, 2013 7:03 pm

Unless they turn around, I can't identify them.

bev. · **Posted:** Sat Mar 09, 2013 7:06 pm

i just do not know for sure. I am trying to be positive and I wish someone would report something

I ahve to go out in an hour for evening but will watch till then

Hopefully morning brings what we want to hear for sure

From SF Yahoo group.
Mary Malec responded to question regarding the status of Dan at 2:44pm:

It was Dan in the video and Lil on the scrape in message 12921. I got a report from Ann and Alexea that they saw two birds downtown in the area of the scape. One went in and I had Dan coming into the nest box at the time they saw one smaller bird going in and had one larger bird in sight.

Something is happening with pressure from at or near the bridge and people seeing altercations on two different days. Both birds seem twitchy. Dan is always twitchy on the nest while Lil is usually a rock-solid presence.

Keep watching, especially if you are downtown and can see from the outside.

Message 12921 reads as follows and refers back to the video link I posted earlier today:

It looks like Lil is on the scrape. She is a bit twitchier than the usual Lil
battleship pose.

Keep a close eye out for a few days. There may be some pressure on them coming
from the east.

stooping, and a big chase towards Treasure Island and beyond where the two birds
disappeared into a fold in the sky. I could not keep a good watch as I had to
pay attention to my lunch guest. I did not see a bird return.

Any assistance keeping an eye on the goings on in the scrape, or on the ground
downtown would be helpful.

I get the impression that both birds are okay, but will have to wait until a report comes from boots. Hopefully tonight

Thank you to everyone who watched today, posted pictures and tried to help ID who was on and who was off. I have been away from the cam for a bit this afternoon, but it seems that whoever is on the eggs now doesn't seem so anxious

:thanku

Well I am hoping they are O.k.
Hopefully all learn their territories. It can work , they just have to get used to other falcons

E o four sites are very clsoe and look at Toronto.about.

bev. · **Posted:** Sat Mar 09, 2013 7:40 pm

I am out tonight but I will check when I can tomorrow.

hopefully good reports form boots, if they are there

bev. · **Posted:** Sat Mar 09, 2013 8:02 pm

So...If I'm understanding that report correctly, we probably have seen both birds on the eggs today?
