That stinker just tucked her banded leg up, but I did see the 11/X very clearly. Not quick enough for a capture!

Oh, Wow! You're fast, Carly! :clap:

Welcome Mary Ellen! :loveshow:

Glad you got the capture, Carolyn (for posterity)! :eggthumbup:

What's really cool is she was born on a Cliff Site - that's what the cl stands for.

Interesting! So she's not a City Girl. Glad it was a cliff site where banding was done... :eggthumbup:

Unfortunately, as a 2012 hatch, we probably won't have eggs/chicks here this year. Although the Zurich female looks even younger than Mary Ellen & she laid eggs, so we'll have to see!

Hmm...SGB, your words triggered my memory. I wonder if she was the little juvie that spent the past few months at Black Dog? An adult female displaced her on March 22nd.

Alison has been keeping tabs on her and discovered her there.

WOW...WE never did ID her!!!..we watched her all winter...she practically lived in that box...

YES IT IS HER
I Even posted that it was 11/x and a few said no I asked Alison but she never did answer so I figured I was wrong so I didn't post here I don't think

Wow--so she is somebody we already loved from another location! Awesome! :loveshow:

They are manning the cam this morning & now you can pretty much see inside the whole box! :sum9:

How amazing. I was wondering what happened to that little juvie at black dog. No wonder we felt drawn to her. BTW, just watched Mary Ellen toss a pellet right off the front of the nestbox. :wink:

The little male has been alarm calling like crazy, yet he still sits where he is so don't know what is up, maybe nothing. Maybe he is calling Mary Ellen.
