Bird Cams Around the World

Scout flew from this end to the top of the nestbox. I also saw wing movement next door, so he must be over there. Now she is in the box.

Now she's on the box



Now in the box

She was on the box for awhile, then just went back inside for a short time. Not sure where she is now. I wish she would get "down to business."

This is really interesting. HE flies in chupping goes into the box and immediately behind him comes Scout with pray in her talons. They are having a lengthy discussion here while she sits there, not even eating. I was too slow to get a cap of him in the box, but it was definitely him in the box.

I will try and watch here when I get back. sounds a bit strange, but with a different male a lot of things will change.

13:08pm

quiet chupping. Someone clsoe to cam with leftovers on beak

sorry this is all I got. saw a bit more but was posting

Squeaky chupping and one on ledge and then flew off at 13:43pm was not scout and the chupping did not sound like male but probably was???

Hope someone is watching becasue I have to go

14:09pm

Scout on ledge by me and male flies into box. sits at entrance for a bit and scout stays put

14:17pm
male out of box and scout stays put
will do slideshow

both still there at 14:23pm

Scout could have been out on ledge all the time and then male came in. I had sound down when male came in second time , s I was on phone but there could have been a canoodle. or there may be one

slideshow from 14:15 to now

I had not heard male with this voice so that was him before on ledge at far end

Scout in the box, but just scraping around. Thought it might be egg time at first.

She's back on the nest cam now.

Who's that other guy in the camera lens?

Video: Scout’s New Guy Inspects the Nest Box

Scout and her new guy arrive at the nest box, around 12:30 local time. He immediately steps into the nest box and looks around. Bowing and vocalization (ee-chupping) is part of courtship behavior. Sometimes the falcon (female) will be in the nest box, arranging the pebbles and making a scrape while the male looks on. He was in the nest box around 10 minutes. Satisfied, he leaves. Scout will also leave, presumably following him. He's not banded, so we don't know anything about him. At least they will be easy to tell apart. Scout being the only one with bands.

New Guy looks a little suspicious - could he be seeing his reflection in the lens of the nest box cam?

Nice video beans. Thanks. He is a charmer.
