Falcon on the ledge this morning - I thought I heard two but see only one - I think it was Spark who I found simply sitting on the ledge then he must have moved closer to the nest box and started squawking - I thought I heard more than one - now all is quiet!!

Happy Monday to Everyone!! :7val:

Thank you SGB for the great pictures of our pair - it is so wonderful to see them together on the ledge and in the nest box and to hear their beautiful voices!!

I've had the recorder on the cam while working in the yard...Needless to say, it had needed a refresh...

Made for a very colorful falcon landing!!

Brief sunbathing...

Some very strange sounds on the ledge today...sounds like drilling?...somebody climbing a ladder? And there's a long white object on the lower ledge.. :think

I wasn't trying to capture sounds, but what was soaring in the distance...got some sounds anyway!!

Wow Sky...that definitely sounds like work on the ledge. Donna indicated in her Sept 2 blog post that there may be new cams and they were hopeful for a new computer. Wouldn't that be great? I haven't been posting much with the off season. The ledge is empty whenever I look at the cams, but I do check posts here periodically and I'm very grateful to everyone here for all the updates and pics posted on Spark and Durand. Only 6 months to nesting season.

Nest cam is up, but not the ledge cam. :tantrum2:

We have a visitor on the ledge this morning - yea the web cam is working!!! I think maybe Durand - can't decide whether or not to go into the nest box - pacing a little back and forth from the front of the ledge toward the box and then back again. a little sqeaking I think - not sure :7val:

Here's our visitor. I'm thinking this is Durand.........

Nice catch! Looks like the spots are gone from the ledge view, so either they cleaned the lens or we have a new cam.

It's pouring in Columbus and we have either Durand or Spark on top of the nest box.

Somebody staying out of the rain down by the nestbox... Now 3:30pm, falcon has moved a little closer to the cam, and is preening.....

Boy...Durand (pretty sure its her based on vocals) has been on/off the ledge about 6 or 7 times in the past 1 1/2 hrs. Each time she only stayed a few seconds and was off again...then back, then off, then back...its like she kept expecting somebody to follow....sure hope that "somebody" is Spark...very vocal "echups!"

A few pics later...

Tsusan · **Posted:** Sun Oct 02, 2016 4:44 pm

Somebody- Durand? Just landed on the ledge and walked into the nestbox...And back out on the ledge? It's dark down there- I can't tell if she is still there or not...Yes, there she is- looking for Spark, I'd bet....

Once again, Durand has been on/off the ledge, justa echupping and watching the skies...She shouldn't have to work this hard to get Spark up there, so who is she "flirting" with....it better be a stubborn Spark is all I gotta say!!!

Thank you SGB for your update - I, too, saw Durand come and go a couple of times - she did her Durand jump off the ledge a few minutes ago - I am in total agreement with you about who she is wooing. It had better be Spark - m heart could not handle another take over. Has anyone seen Spark lately?
