2:18 - he's back on deck again, in front of box. On far rail. Bowing a little. B killer stare.

He's moved to the corner near the main cam & platform.

They have exceptional hearing, I'm sure she knows he is there.

Oh, she knew he was there... not doubt about it. We could hear it. She just couldn't see him... because of his position.

2:20 - he just flew.

When UT was here, he was CONSTANTLY whining at B. This bird is quiet. He whines a little, but not much. More like when he lands.

Reminded me of DC. DC would whine to B but not often and unless he's coming in for egg duty. DC is more the silent type.

Now this bird is alarm calling.

Another picture... Now I'm looking at feet. new birds feet seem much bigger than UT's. And again, the distance on cam 1 vs main cam...

No updates from BS... last update was from Joyce at 2PM.

About an hour ago, MAK was taking her pics to Joyce to see if Joyce would confirm it was UT.

Thanks for all your comparison shots mw. I'm a bit too nervous at the moment to absorb it all but I do appreciate it.

Completely understand Carly. I'm nervous posting them...

I'm very uncomfortable with this situation... For DC first, then for B.

In the mix, we need to add Pigott. She left BS and no info on her return. Where has she gone? Is she still in area? Will she try to head DT? I'm just really, really concerned...

2:42pm - He's back on small platform. Silent. Flew off.

B just repositioned

2:43 - He's back on other side of main cam.

He's not vocalizing or calling. Quiet. B is holding. Fluffed up back. Staring.

And I think he just took off again.

According to stream... MAK says DC still sleeping.

DJ - Stream: MAK said DC just doesn't look right. They are scoping him out now. Mak Joyce

Joyce: 2:52pm Based on MAKs pics, the mystery falcon has all of UT markings. DC looks a little disheveled.

2:57 - She's tracking him. back fluffed up. head up. alert.

I don't know how to describe her killer stare. Reminds me of a dog who is giving a warning.. hard stare, mean face...

Correction:

Joyce: Brian reports UT's flying around Xerox..

Poor B, she must be thinking..what the heck ..another new one to break in. Can't be easy on her after all she's had to deal with. I know she can handle it but the timing sucks for her, her focus should be on those babies coming. Now she has to worry about the new guy and the eggs.

I'm guessing this guy jumped DC as he was leaving the other area to come down and relieve Beauty early this morning. Likely been scoping him out for awhile now to find his pattern and weakness.

I agree Carly.

If anything, I'm thankful DC made it back to BS. Joyce & MAK can see him. Hopefully, he just needs some time to recover.

Now, we just need an update on Pigott. Maybe she's trying to stay aloof to not draw attention to DC.

As much as I hate this, whatever happens DT is going to happen. Beauty will have to take a break. Maybe that's when new male will venture into box. I don't think he has offered her any food at this point, which I find a little surprising. She may not accept it, but I really don't think there has been an offer yet. I'm going to have to accept that B will need to lookout for herself and their eggs.

I'm just so sorry to see this happen here.

Thanks for all the updates mw. I miss so much when it's not live.

You are welcome. I'm sorry I have to report this bad news... and it is bad news to me.

3:36 - Looks like B is tracking him.... still that hard stare.

He's on deck - on rail next to cam 4. Just clipped the little platform on top of cam 4 when he landed.

Came in quiet. NO vocals. B is giving that hard stare.

B is locked on him with her stare.

There are no vocals going on... from either one.

No food offering. That I can see.

3:39 - B is not giving any ground. She's frozen.

3:43 - he is now on other side of main cam.

Again... no vocals..
