Not on topic, but we had a calf once that kept putting his nose on the electric fence so I called him Sparky :biggrin:

I captured these pictures before SGB's video :egg9:

I really hope Durand has finally found a mate that will stay for the long run.I only wish they would take Durands eggs so she can consentrate on bounding with Spark :egg 19:

Here's Durand coming into the nest box :egg9:

Here's Spark checking out the eggs before he left the nest box :egg 19:

I think it is sweet the way Spark(y) :wink:

is paying attention to the eggs.
Wish they would get those out for testing. Maybe DNA from last year's eggs can be compared to these? I keep thinking that Chance was the same male as last year and that he is has fertility issues.
Spark comes from a good lineage, I want him to stay and establish himself as the resident male for years to come. :girlluv:

Well look what just happened at Rochester maybe these 2 will follow suit and have some eggs :biggrin:

That video is so cute, and I just have a good feeling about these two. It sure looks good, and they do need to get those eggs out of there!

Bev. . is that happening all the time?

Occasionally, I have that happen here and other websites. . I don't know if its connected to my internet speed at that moment or a hiccup with the server where the forum or other website is housed ..

This is Spark. Durand is on the ledge somewhere .. I haven't lightened a pic to find her, but I suspect the cam. . they are acting like an old married couple right now. . :egg6:

It ha peens only once in awhile. I figured it was because of old computer.

I hope they stick togehter.

Would that not be something if she laid more eggs. We have learned in the past few years, never to underestimate them. It does not matter what we say or think, or statistics show, they will do what they will do

Happened to me today too, with my own forum. I thought it had something to do with Photobucket (The top banner is hosted there) because I couldn't get my buckets open properly either at that time.

Thanks DEF.

Could Durand and Spark be considering starting a new clutch of eggs? That would be awesome!

bev. · **Posted:** Fri May 18, 2012 9:21 am

I have been thinking the same thing. I have been watching them scrape there.

10:30am

no one ledge and no one in box

Unfortunately, the other male disappeared and Durand stopped incubating her eggs.

From the website:

It appears his left legband is 32/B which would make him "Spark" from last year's Terminal Tower nest in Cleveland! Ironically, the adult male at that nest was "Boomer" hatched in 2008 in Columbus! How exciting to have offspring of a Columbus-produced bird come back to the Capital City!

The audio has failed in parts of the video. :egg15:

Recorded around 11:30 AM EDT

1st egg laid: March 26, 2012
2nd egg laid: March 28, 2012
3rd egg laid: April 3, 2012
