Maybe they just finished a game of chase and he's pooped!!!

Is that two falcons in your shot?? I was thinking he must know she is nearby, otherwise he would have taken it to where she was, right?

I'm afraid its just one...

Now he is eating it, or at least plucking at it, oh how cute he is, but my cam is freezing up,

Trooper finally lost patience and started eating his catch.

I wonder if she is eating elsewhere..

Or maybe she already ate earlier. I'm just glad to see him here. I half worried that he might not stay at this site after losing Scout, and then Clementine, but looks like he intends to keep the nest. This is his home.

Its encouraging to see him eating on the ledge...I hope that eventually Spirit will notice him spending time here and will join him and do the same..

OK...I'm starting to fall asleep...

It looks like Trooper is turning out to be a fine dad! We weren't sure at first how good he would be especially not knowing his background, but he's doing well. :smile:

I sure wish he was banded...I'd love to know his history..

Well, gotta go now. It sure was nice to watch Trooper for such a long while and he is still there. I wanted to see Spirit though. She may come yet and I assume that SGB is recording, so I can see it later if she comes. :wink:

I would think this would be prime flying lesson time before it got so hot...maybe they're both resting up after breakfast.

For the record, Trooper is still on the ledge..

still there...

Catbird · **Posted:** Sun Jul 11, 2010 8:49 am

Now I'm starting to get worried. Trooper's still there on the ledge, and there's no sign of Spirit. I do hope that she's OK.

That thought did cross my mind...but, she could be where he can see her best from the ledge...like he did when he sat above her on the LeVeque...I just wish she would come to the ledge...we know she can fly that high...

Be back later..
