Saw a juvie yesterday on the Chase Building, looking around, then (s)he hopped into a concealed area. (There used to be a "view the whole city from way up high" restaurant there where the juvie was.) This is the same place the juvies were roosting a few hours before the storm hit. A great place to ride it out. The storm gusts were 80 mph and possibly more, so many trees uprooted and limbs down. We are very very fortunate to have no injuries.

thank you SBwatcher

Gigi= you do not want a new female till juvies are ready to be on their own.

A new female or male ( what ever the case) will chase kids of or injure( at this stage) . have seen it .they will not help out.

but Zeus seems to be doing a god job

what a year.

I never thought about that Bev, not wanting a new female to arrive too soon. Makes perfect sense that she would be in competition with the juvies for Dad's attention and food. I remember when Ma at DeMortel was killed after a battle with S2. It was touch and go with Pa delivering food, but S2 taking it. Then one day, Mothers Day that year, she began feeding the 2 remaining youngsters. After that it was good, but it was sure hard watching S2 make off with the food thinking Pa was bringing to her as a courtship gesture.

yes, I remember that year well and we all grew to love S2 but after the kids are bigger , they are considered a threat.
the kids at deMortel were not very old

I remember Chase chasing all our juveniles away , when our dad go t hurt. We still hope they made out O.k. they had been flying for 3 .5 weeks.

but in Ontario,a few years back. the new female kept being aggressive to the female chick that was just fledging and the male took it a few blocks away, if I remember rightly. they were being observed closely, in case she came to the ground

Every situation is different, but I like to weigh on side of caution. Of course, it will be what it will be . no control.

wishing these youngsters the best of success.

I agree with the hope that a new female doesn't appear until the kids have been trained & are gone. We had the same scenario that Bev talked about in Harrisburg a couple of years ago when NG disappeared. The 2 boys had fledged & were just beginning their life lessons when Lil Dad brought Niecey to the ledge. She wouldn't allow the boys on the ledge anymore so we couldn't see them on cam after that. Lil Dad would disappear for a while each day after that so we figured he was caring for and training his boys away from the ledge.

:egg19: I was just looking at last years' archives for South Bend. The box was not visited much at mid July last year, either. One person posted the local newspaper had included a picture of the juvie ( Clementine) perched on a church)

I saw a falcon out flying by the bypass on my way to get my kids today :) Just one falcon on it's own, no idea who...didn't think it would be a good idea to try to get too close of a look while driving 70 lol!

TSUSAN, AS I COME IN, I ONLY SEE A PIECE OF WHITE FLUFF POSSIBLY CAUGHT IN SPIDER WEB THAT IS BLOWING IN THE WIND. I DID NOT SEE ANY FEATHERS DROPPING FROM IT. INTERESTINGLY, I NOTICED A DARK, STICK-LIGHT, THINGY-DINGY MOVING JUST OUTSIDE THE SMALL OPENING @ BACK OF ROOF THAT YOU CAN SEE LIGHT SHINE THRU. WONDER IF IT WAS BIRD LEGS? POSSIBLY A FALCON IS ON THE ROOF DEFEATHERING. HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!! ARE WE SUFFERING FROM FALCON WITHDRAWL AND HALLUCINATING? :egg21:

:egg21: Ha Ha Ha you wiseguys!! Go ahead and laugh at me - I can take it! :teehee: But looking during the daylight, there is a spider web there.... I think Zeus better call housekeeping to get those nasty critters out of there! You never know when a young lady might come calling...
But I think you are right, I am suffering from falcon/juvie withdrawal!
