Maybe they are practicing/plotting feeding schedules, ljames??

Well I think that I was wrong about who left and who stayed earlier because one stayed on the wall this whole time until the other came back. The one then ran across the top of the nestbox and the other landed on the wall, before joining what I now think was FC in the nestbox.

Maybe? She taught him alot last year didn't she? It sort of seems she is going through motions that a fledgling acts like.
OH!! you caught some bonding pics....Great!!

Last year at Canton...Mystic had to fly up and "knock" Maurice off his perch to get him to help her do fly by's of the nest and to get him to hunt for her...

On the SFBAY Raptors Yahoo Group, there was a report of a falcon spotted at 9PM Sunday evening at EC's favorite roosting spot!

Radisson did this with our young male last year.

Interesting to hear how different falcons interact with each other. Very glad to hear that someone probably saw EC. Now if we could only get word to Haya about how to find him! :girlluv:

Well it is an ongoing challenge to train our mates. Same with falcons, I guess.

FC

Clara. I thought she was going to lay an egg for a minute there.

I missed the best shot of the canoodle on the parapet. :duh:

Thanks for the great pics, ljames & Cheryl! With the position Clara is in, I would have thought she was getting ready to lay an egg, too, especially since Lil already did! :ohyes:

Before this picture, FC had brought dinner to Clara on the louver and she ate it there. Never did see them bond though, I don't think, I mean not in the box.

Maybe they are getting ansy because they know it's almost time. Well, so am I. :wink:

ljames · **Posted:** Thu Feb 14, 2013 11:34 am

Got the shot this morning that I missed last night.

Nice catch!

I checked cam last night around 8pm, no one was on the ledge. This morning there were reports of Clara in the box at 5:20am! Maybe we are close!

First on is Clara in the box yesterday, then FC on top of the box, then he scrapes a bit.
