I even wonder if the buffy-chested one is the same one from last season he courted before the Delaware gal came in. He had 2 or 3 potentials from what I remember and one did have a buffy or peachy chest I believe. It would make sense why the buffy-chested one was in the nest box and the Delaware gal was on the ledge facing her that I thought I saw within the last few days ... they know each other!! I'll see if I can find a report from them on her last season.

And maybe not, they said the buffy-chested, un-banded, one from last season had a distinct white strip above her cere. Here she is from last season:

Ladies,
do you want to call #2 Female 95/AK
Della
since she is a Delware hatch?

:biggrin:

No, I never went down to see them last year. There is tons of construction around the building. That buffy girl is huge, hopefully she gets out of the way and isn't older. The little Delaware girl does act young and clueless, but seems to be the favorite. And DGIF reported the male was chasing a female away before they turned the cam on.

Hi ladies, I did go down a watch for a little while this afternoon. I only saw the two of them, and he was not flying toward the other buildings. There are also vents on the B of A building, which is a different direction. Anyway, she can flapping in from the direction of the B of A building just like a young girl, screaming, no soaring. He must have been up there. He left a little while later, flew around the building and she flew around after him, flapping and screaming like a kid. This poor 3 year old boy must not know what hit him :) Eventually he went and perched on the riverside of the building and she was flying around the area hunting. She's a little uncoordinated still, so I didn't see any catching. So I think this will be the routine for this year. They both fly a lot, kind of amazing to watch that.

:teehee:

Yes you did and we really appreciated it! I guess I'm the one who interjected the food part in my mind to make sense why she was following him and screaming! This was your report from April 13th, 2019.

I've already posted that a while back you all. This Delaware gal is the juvie that was here last season from March till they turned the cams off. I may be misunderstanding something here ... I don't know.
