I was thinking that but didn't want to stick my foot in my mouth again on a bad guess :egg7:

Yes, that's what I was hoping to see, Pess! The King & Queen bonding! And to top it off, you caught Roosevelt digging a scrape! Great catches! :egg5:

They were together again in the nest at around 7 pm, but it was too dark to make a good Image Capture.

Thanks, Pess! It has been several years since they've had eggs, but every year when the other falcon pairs are bonding, we see them bonding, too! :flirty:

FOSTER EGGS
THEY DESERVE EGGS EVEN IF THEY AREN'T THEIR OWN

They've done that successfully in other countries. In Sweden, the male & female at a nest were brother & sister, so they went thru several years of no chicks, then they started taking their eggs and exchanging them for some fertilized eggs, & they got babies! In Canada they have fostered chicks out when the natural parents were killed or seriously injured & had great success with that! Falcons make wonderful foster parents! :flirty:

This has been coming up every year when other nests have eggs & Freedom & Roosevelt don't.

But you probably knew all this, Mick, & were just laughing at the terminology! :egg9:

The Poland Falcons lost their baby and they put a chick in for them tpo foster last year or maybe the year before Hanny or PKIN could answer that

That's right, I remember that! I think that was last year. It would be great if there were some kind of program to take chicks from nests where there obviously isn't enough food (like San Jose last year), & foster them out to nests that don't have chicks or maybe only have one.

Roosevelt in the box today:

Freedom and Roosevelt have not had eggs for three years now, but they had already made a huge contribution to the recovery of the peregrine population. They have such a strong, complex bond; it goes far beyond raising chicks together.
