I saw Sesenta in the box earlier this week Matrix. Diving into the pebbles like he likes to do. Actually I assumed Sesenta because of behavior, not seeing bands.
I just don't want a fight over the territory...
GIGI, IF IT IS WILL I HOPE THERE IS NOT A FIGHT OVER THE TERRITORY. I DO HOPE WILL RECLAIMS HIS TERRITORY AND SESENTA FINDS A MATE @ A NEW SITE. THINK I READ SOMEWHERE THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF INBREEDING IN SOME BIRDS CAN SHOW UP IN 3-4 GENERATIONS. I KNOW THAT ZOOS AND THE AZA KEEP STRICT RECORDS ON ZOO POPULATIONS TO PREVENT THIS. BUT, I AM UNSURE OF THE BIRD POPULATION AND I INTEND TO ASK ABOUT THIS. I DID NOT KNOW SESENTA PRIOR TO NOW, HOWEVER I REJOICE IN KNOWING THAT A FALCON FROM THIS SITE MADE IT TO ADULTHOOD AND IS SEEKING A MATE AND NEST SITE TO CLAIM AS HIS OWN!

I know no one wants to think about this but KathyQ is at the age where likely another female will challenge for this site and win. It's not pleasant to think about but it's the reality of their life.
So her son staying and continuing on the legacy of KathyQ and Kinney could be bittersweet in a year or two. Not trying to upset anyone but just being realistic. It's just another way of looking at this situation.
SORRY IF YOU THOUGHT I WAS BEING UNREALISTIC CARLY. IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE ONE OF THE PROS STEP IN AND DO A TEACHING MOMENT.
