well gals and guys. My bet is on DC.

may have just been stunned. if he is flying fine , as they reported once he flew, then maybe a hit and so he had to sleep it off.

He is a smart cookie. And I am praying for good things tomorrow.

Remember how that male in Harrisburg , kept coming back.

Get a good nights sleep DC.

I am just wondering where P is

What I don't understand is B not getting some cached food and eating. I know she's protecting her eggs but somewhere self preservation has to come into play. I'm sure she went to sleep with a full crop last night so how long does food there last? DC always roosts at BS-even when there have been threats DT so I would think he went back there, if he's capable, but no one seemed to check there once they were DT.

B may sneak out during nihgt. Remember there are lights there and falcons do fly at nihgt.

4.34 am in Rochester:
Beauty on eggs, tiercel on porch. Some whining and B responding with chups.
I have not followed this nest close enough to even guess the ID of this male. And I hardly ever have the live stream on, so can't tell anything by their sounds either, sorry.

Oh no, not another fight this morning! When will this all stop?

I hope DC is all right . . . the poor guy was just recovering from a previous one. I'm almost afraid to check in on the Rochester falcons . . . it seems as though there's nothing but bad news this week. And I hope Beauty is all right, especially with the eggs so close to hatching.

Yes, the other male is back. This is not good at all.

This is so not good...I was hoping that after DC made an appearance yesterday, that this territory had been decided in his favor. And now to hear of a battle. Let's hope DC made the decision to move out of the area rather than to continue the fight. Bless his heart..I pray he is ok. Based on past comments/info from biologists, 15 minutes is a short battle. Let's hope it didn't continue once they were both out of view.

Now let's pray that there isn't a round 3..and that all the pieces fall into place at this critical time.

I agree, Carly...he's been so devoted here, in spite of his rocky starts, he's always stepped up to the plate. The fact that he took on this other male, despite not being 100% is a great testament to his devotion here. Let's just hope his self-preservation instinct kicked in and he high tailed it outta there before serious injury.

Hopefully, one of the watchers will spot him later on today and hopefully with Pigott!!!

Thanks for the great pics...Well, that's a step in the right direction. Let's hope the sight of eggs triggers some sort of incubation response.

We do not know hang in there CArly

Well Pigott is back...c.r.a.p. I hope DC isn't on the roof and that's why they are circling :girlsad3:

wnyfalconfan (Joyce): BS: I have a falcon on westside window near extension. Looks like P with full crop. 2 TVs on southside roof above vent. Others circling.

Oh no, please don't let it be DC on the roof!

The only good news this morning is that Beauty is still holding her own and the eggs are still intact after one of the UT's was in the nest box checking them out.

Catbird · **Posted:** Fri May 17, 2013 11:39 am

Beauty's out on the ledge now, and it sounds like she might be calling for DC.

Catbird · **Posted:** Fri May 17, 2013 11:40 am

And now she's gone . . . going to get something to eat, I hope.

Catbird · **Posted:** Fri May 17, 2013 11:43 am

Beauty's back already. I don't think she had enough time to get a bite to eat.

Catbird · **Posted:** Fri May 17, 2013 11:47 am

Such a sweet face! I don't know how she can manage to stay so calm when everything around her seems to be in chaos.

Kris G. · **Posted:** Fri May 17, 2013 11:52 am

@wnyfalconfan: Brian reports: I've checked 10,000 windows, ledges, roofs, dormers, cornices, you name it.

(Joyce): Scouted around and returned to BS to find P in the same spot preening. No sign of DC. Mounted Sheriffs on patrol. Left horse trailer at BS.

hop e Dc is watching from somewhere. My heart does not let me give up( come on little guy, hang in there)

B can get a quick snack in a short time. I have watched them do it I am sure there is a ltitle food still around.

will keep checking.

thanks for all the coverage...I just hope they are in serious discussion about what to do here. I'm sure the eggs can handle being alone for short periods of time, but for how long, I have no clue..

hmmmmmmmmmm....I see they are repelling again..
